Sarcs post above begs a question though, don't it? Is the new crusade on CVD is little more than part of the well tried smoke, mirrors and deflection system; a distraction from the main event.
Pro Av ""We are reliably informed that some 450 pilots of one single carrier alone are affected by these policies and practices, which appear to embrace the development of new standards in the complete absence of empirical validation or external consultation
AOPA "[and] where specialist opinion is required, CASA should at least listen to specialist opinion."
There are other published articles reflected in threads here on Pprune which raise many of the issues surrounding the Avmed department; much expert opinion, supported by 'judicial' ruling and remarks has been published; all of which roundly condemns the department and it's boss. Add to this the embarrassing performances in various AAT and Coronial hearings during which those presiding have questioned probity and doubted the expertise of the CASA PMO, to the point where any rational judge will hardly bother to ask questions of CASA, as the value of their 'expert' witness testimony has been discounted so many times as to be rendered nugatory.
Without reform it can only end in tears and if Truss and Forsyth are to maintain even a shred of credibility or trust McComic and his intimate crew of circus performers, charlatans, actors and ventriloquists have to go; soon would be great; now would be better.
Second the motion for PMO resignation, the cynical act of deflecting attention away from the many duck ups and lack of professional credibility by resurrecting the CVD issue speaks volumes of how detached from reality CASA is and why Real Reform Right now with a capital R is expected and demanded. Now would be good..
Toot toot.
I wonder, if the aircraft Truss was on caught fire, would he expect the crew to have a little sit-down and discuss the matter, then refer to other crew, then call the company for a preferred outcome, then call their Mum's, then the wife to discuss dinner and eventually, maybe, actually do something about the flames leaping through the cabin? – I don't think so.

Well said that man, but it's not just the medical department is it?, some of the 'quasi-legal' embuggerance the operational side have produced is simply beyond belief. Agree, it has to stop.
