this qantas guy who is being touted as a very respected australian aviator he wouldn't happen to be the qantas requester of all things synchronised with easa so that qantas could get maint done in the east european shops would he?
It would be very unusual for anybody at QF to engage in such a covert plan to achieve self served interests and receive highly lucrative bonuses! Surely not? Besides, Australian aviation revolves around the Roo. All Joyce has to do is say to CAsA "we would like EASA because it works out better for us" and Fort Fumble would approve, with the blessings of its Masters of course.
