Folks,
All the obstructionism of CASA doesn't help, the original investors were bled dry by the costs of CASA delays and prevarication.
Presumably, several CASA people will be happy with the move offshore, they will no longer have to take responsibility for their regulatory decisions ----- never underestimate the costly regulatory obstacles put in the way of certification by CASA, compared with FAA, NZ CAA etc. The costs and delays in certifying the new models are probably the straws that broke the camel's back.
It is not a simplistic matter of relative labor costs.
Tootle pip!!
