I wasn’t being sarcastic, Sunfish. Therefore I must be a fool.
What worries me most is not that the various bodies which purport to represent the interests of GA aircraft owners and pilots may be unwilling to publicly criticise and challenge CASA. Rather, it’s that I doubt whether many of them have the expertise to know when CASA’s done something that deserves public criticism and challenge, or how to do it properly.
CASA is disintegrating, operationally. Sure: there will still be a bunch of people getting paid to produce glossy annual reports and front parliamentary committees etc. But the level of operational disfunctionality is obviously increasing.
It would be better if the GA ‘industry’ had a united and coherent solution to present to government to ensure the operational disintegration of CASA does as little damage as possible in the real world.
