Sunny – no one wants "revenge", everyone just wants to be compliant, secure and to be able to get on with the business they know best; running aircraft operations and a quiet life. To do this, we must have a "honest", competent regulator who can vaguely at least, define which end the smoke comes out, this we simply don't have.
To change this first you must persuade important, busy, expensive people that there is, indeed a problem (done). Having achieved that, you must convince those folks that the problem is real, is here and is happening now (done). Having struggled to get that far and proven the case, you must persuade them to act (done). Now there are many impediments and inconveniences which may affect the speed of that change, but once the pathway has been established, the gods must help the next incumbents of 'positions of power' if this mess ain't sorted and anything else goes pear shaped (Jury out). Or, ICAO and the FAA who both need to occasionally flex their muscles decide to weigh in (pending rule 787). Then the "law unto themselves" party can kiss their funny hats and Hawaiian shirts goodbye.
Sunny # 1919 "There are vital functions that CASA performs that need to keep happening, come what may, otherwise the general public will become alarmed."
Alarm the public? - what a bloody good idea that is – they need to be more than just alarmed. Nothing will fall from the sky without CASA administration. Besides, it's very good aerobic exercise to jump up and down a bit; winds your clock up like.
See SIUYA #1920 – the thick plottens. Told ya..
