It is indeed very odd that there has been extremely little communication about what is going to happen on the changeover. I'm a working ATPL holder and I have not received a single communication from CASA letting me know what changes are taking place and how it will affect me. Not everybody lives in a capitol city and can attend their information sessions either (the only communication I have received: an email advising me of an information session to be held 9 hours drive away from where I live).
Absolute chaos!
The lack of definitive answers and conflicting information here shows just how poorly this is being implemented IMHO. For an organisation that has 'Safety' in its name it seems to be going about change in the exact opposite way to that which would engender safety positive outcomes...
