bankrunner, so very true. He also hates how his people are involved in aviation assistance programs with neighbouring countries, he gives not a toss about the aerodrome inspectors, safety systems inspectors, DG inspectors or GA, whirlybirds, or anything aviation that is smaller than an A320. As mentioned, his respect of HF people is pathetic and the list goes on. With the role of CASA being that of 'safety' you would think that of all people the DAS would understand that safety has no boundaries and that each discipline in CASA, just like in an airline, is important for attaining a safe and compliant operation. Mr Angry's 'only the blokes in the pointy end' attitude is not only archaic but it is dangerous.
Senator Xenophon called these clowns out. He could see that the attitude and lack of ability at CASA and ATSBeaker are nothing short of dangerous and are a contributing factor within our industry's decline in safety standards.
Tick Tock indeed.
