Thorny, anything that CAsA touches turns into dysfunctional unworkable bureaucratic ****e, the aviation medical field is no different. It is of no surprise that some pilots are treated like criminals and forced to spend thousands defending and clearing themselves. Gee, where have I heard that sort of system before? Oh yeah, CAsA
It's a shame that the same level of scrutiny and over the top personal health inquisitions aren't applied to the neurological and mental health functions of most CAsA staff, as then there would be no CAsA staff!!
UITA, good post mate, but oh so tautological don't you think? Same style of CAsA observations, same issues, same findings, over and over and over decade after decade after decade. One day someone will finally stomp on the CAsA windpipe and snuff this diabolical clump of bureaucratic pony pooh out of existence.
