I have a few good blokes within CASA who keep me up to date on a lot of issues and there ARE good people there.
Trouble is, it isn't the apples in the barrel, as you suggest, it's the barrel that's rotten, and it needs replacing ! It's beyond repair!
I am a bit perplexed about what is stupid about doing 5am NDB approaches and why you would want to ring CASA up about it ?
Sounds more like fraternization than curing an anomoly.
