“CVD pilots are just the latest group to be targeted by the PMO and their plight highlights the reason why VIPA and many in the industry are calling for an urgent overhaul of the AvMed section of CASA.”
Mr O’Hara will be joined by the Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA) President, Nathan Safe, along with Senator David Fawcett, Mr O’Brien and Dr Arthur Pape, an authority in CVD, at today’s meeting with Minister Truss in Parliament House.
That would have been a very strange experience for Truss. Being surrounded by actual aviation technical experts! For once he wasn't being fed mountains of spin, bull**** and long winded tales of 'everything is just peachey' by the likes of CASA hierarchy, Board members, Mr MrDak, Credlin and others. Nope, he would have heard a couple of home truths I imagine.
But the Ministwr won't be happy having to be the one extending the olive branch, that's what his bobble heads are paid to do! Interesting to see. Maybe he is starting to worry that, as Creampuff says, the threat of non laborials scoring some points might be actually becoming a distant concern? After all it's amazing what mayhem a couple of oddballs like PUP has been able to do with just a couple of stalled votes
