Stan,
Re 1767 -I too have issue with the "Pilot File" matter. Whether CASA keep them or where they keep them (operational files etc) is open to speculation. Regardless of this AOC holders are required to keep files on pilots. The matters that may be recorded are not proscribed as far as I know and a pilot has no ability to challenge any matter that may be recorded. This is procedurely unfair and should be changed. A responsible regulatory authority would do so.
A number of years ago I was dismissed from Kendell following the airlines written statements to CASA that the airline had conducted a thorough investigation and determined that I had flown an RPT aircraft with a flat tyre and failed to report the defect.
To cut a long story short it ended in the AIRC with the Commissioner finding that the airline did not investigate at all and that I had not done so. I was paid and re instated.
Yet the matter is still recorded on my pilot records at work!
It seems that CASA and its delegates see themselves as infallible and no review is permitted. What a crock!
