CP –"What's the IOS's Plan B?"
The whimsical Creampuff emerges, and Akro drives the price of goat herds up. Not too sure plan B is an option, (except for goat herding), reality is that if the two Senate inquiries, the Forsyth review and the 'true' report from the Canadians don't change things, nothing will without a fight to the metaphorical death that is.
David Fawcett and Co have done a magnificent job and never once let the team down, industry is as homogenous now as it ever has been, or is likely to ever be again. Everyone is over the Truss dithering and even the big boys are wanting the reform. Go no further than this unmitigated pile of bollocks – laughingly referred to as Part 61 – if you really want to see what the 'old' system has produced, it is at the pinnacle of total NFI. If industry meekly accepts this, it's game over. With McComic and his bully boys gone (or going) industry can fight against Part 61, without fear of reprisal.
So there would be the start point for Plan B – the Senators know exactly how the old regime worked and will not be caught out a second time. The new bored/DAS will be walking into a **** storm if they 'try it on', a simple request from everyone regarding part 61 would be the trigger for round two.
No one wants to go back to war – but if the industry doesn't catch a break soon there are viable alternatives to BOHICA. Regenerated anger, turned to fury will serve to provide the will and determination to never, ever allow a creature like McComic to ride roughshod over those that paid for the privilege. Industry was only mildly annoyed during Forsyth and placid right now; I would not want to be the one responsible for dashing their hopes, not now. No; It will be much easier to get the reform happening and pacify the industry; rather than risk open rebellion. If a cornered animal can't fly – rest assured it will fight.
We'll know soon enough. Out, out damned doom sayers and take those bloody goats with you. (insert big smile).
