Folks,
There are, reputedly ( what a great CYA word) three serious candidates so far, but I seriously expect the "successful" candidate will be the one judged to be the least likely to cause the Minister any problems, by actually wanting to carry out genuine reforms, and a serious restructure of CASA staff, particularly upper levels of management.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I find the likelihood of the critical reforms required, actually being given the green light, as extremely remote.
In good SMS terms, the likelihood of occurrence ( of serious reform) is low, but the consequences are extreme, the mitigation is to bury the whole issue in political treacle.
Again, I sincerely hope I am wrong, the poor bleeding industry can't take much more.
Tootle pip!!
