From
Dougy's insight 21 August 2014:
I note that the Australian Aviation Associations’ Forum has been quietly prodding the Minister this week, with a press release saying in part “while industry has been very patient over the last 12 months, it is now keen to see real change and a more positive, cooperative relationship with CASA that is the benchmark of good aviation safety regulation across the world”.
This comes on top of earlier calls from industry for the Minister to expedite the process, but there’s still no sign of an announcement about either the Director of Safety or two other board roles at CASA. I know it’s critical to get it right but how long can it take? You have to start to wonder whether the shortlist put forward has been rejected in total. The current DAS’s time runs out on 31 August and I strongly suspect neither he nor the Minister wants an extension.
Hmm...Dougy is no wiser than the rest of the IOS..
