“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
This mornings CAsA "blurb".
"CASA has transition arrangements in place to facilitate aerial firefighting operations for this season. An exemption has been made that commenced on 1 September and applies to pilots who intend to conduct firefighting operations from this date".
For years CAsA has ruled by "exemption" because the "Regs" were dysfunctional. If CAsa were to repeal all the exemptions immediately, aviation as we know it would be ended. The regulatory review process was supposed to give us a new suite. A joke I think, but if they thought the new "Parts" were relevant, they are off to a bad start with "exemptions".
