Enough talk already, well done Senator Xenophon and team.
The aviation world really does know what is needed and it is to get rid of the rubbish that remnants of the 2-airline policy have left us, re-structure the CAAct and un-lock the shackles.
The type of regulation casa has put in place has led us [kicking and screaming] to this point.
And in some cases at huge cost to participants as casa "get it wrong" - the current
AVMED debacle over CVD and
other assesments are examples.
Also there is Polar Aviation, Barrier and others.
Any number of of represenations to casa - such as the
well documented case put by the AAAA show the pilliblustering that occurs.
I am well aware that similar representations put to atsb recieve the same fate
[Dick Smith and Benalla, Shane Urqhart and Lockhart River].
What is worse in these cases is the complicity of casa to bury information and "escape".
Is the resignation of skull the first real crack in the casa shell??
Well exposed by Nick [is the casa conflict of interest] and the
senate team in PelAir inquiry and the use of people such as Ian Harvey, the barrister commonly used by casa when "things get sticky" as Counsel assisting the
Coroner in the Lockhart River inquest.
Summary of PelAir response:
The ASRR inquiry must reflect the will of the aviation industry, not be watered down and be fully implemented.
