Ziggychick – great to see your spirit restored to being 'match fit'. I sympathise with your sentiments and - welcome to the dustup; there is only one small point I could disagree with – The Chambers Report – (now that's a drum roll). Anyone who could believe the chambers epistle was written for "the well being and future direction" of CASA and industry can buy a used houseboat from me anytime.
As I see it, there was one of three only three purposes to the Chambers report:-
1) To denigrate the crew working 'on task', even the expert, qualified ones.
2) To cover the flaccid rump of the fearless leader in matters not pertaining to Pel Air while the FAA was hanging about the coffee machine. Someone was bound to ask why the likes of Cook pulled the golden pin.
3) As an egocentric private (very) demonstration of 'skills' which would assist in a slither up the slippery pole to trough heaven.
If ever Mc Comic and Beaker are to depart the fix; have them take their Chamber pot with them, please.
