Has "Elvis" left the building yet?
It would be appropriate for him to vanish quickly after the latest letter to AOC holders towards CVD pilots has been made public. I'm told the letter has gone "viral" to Europe and The US. I'm also told The Attorney General has been informed with a copy of that plus the CAsA indemnity for actions with The Anti Discrimination Board.
Copy below for another example to grind your teeth over;
Civil Aviation Act 1988
- C2014C00167

30EF CASA may reinstate if satisfied that holder’s livelihood depends on authorisation
(1) A holder of a civil aviation authorisation who has been given a demerit suspension notice or demerit cancellation notice may apply to CASA to have the authorisation reinstated.
(2) Subsection (1) applies despite paragraphs 30DY(2)(b), 30DZ(2)(b) and 30EC(2)(b).
(3) If, and only if, CASA is satisfied that the suspension or cancellation would cause the holder severe financial hardship because, without the authorisation, the holder would not be able to earn the holder’s principal or only income, CASA may:
(a) reinstate the authorisation; and
(b) impose on the authorisation such conditions as CASA considers appropriate in the circumstances.
98 Regulations etc. (6C) CASA must consult the Australian Human Rights Commission about any proposal that regulations be made containing provisions that are inconsistent as mentioned in subsection (6A) or (6B). However, a failure to consult the Commission does not affect the validity of any regulations so made.
