Capt. Claret, mate your behind the times.
A Hydro-Tow bar is a green party approved device powered by a water wheel. Rain water captured from the terminal roof is used to turn the wheel.
A system of pulleys, gears and clockwork uses the rotation of the wheel to wind a giant spring located within the tug.
When the spring is released it drives the aircraft back, completely carbon free, no emissions at all.
So is this the new CAsA paradigm for bastardization?
Here's someone who may or may not have done something naughty.
Like actually having the temerity to use their initiative, to provide a service to the customers, which they paid money for, of the company he works for, and actually transport them safely and efficiently to their destination.
CAsA cant have that happening, I mean Pilots actually making decisions!!
Quick, find someone to accuse them of drug use.
Use that as an excuse to pull their medical.
Make the conditions for the return of that medical so onerous that with luck they'll either go broke or give up and do something else.
But if they get antsy, and want to argue, use they secrecy provisions of the CAsA mandate and withhold any chance that they might confront their accuser, or seek redress for false accusation.
Mr Attorney general is this what Australian "Rule of the regulator" descended to.
