This is the headline in AA which highlights the reason that Inquiries, Reviews and individual protests simply don't get any political traction. The only reason people surveyed think CASA is doing a good job is that passenger planes are not falling out of the sky.
“The public generally believe Australia has a good safety record and attribute the low number of aircraft incidents to CASA’s efforts and believe there are good regulations in place,” the report said.
Of course the report was commissioned by CASA so the results will be in its favour but it does indicate that aviation policy will only change when the general public don't feel safe to get onboard an Australian registered aeroplane.
Four per cent of respondents said CASA was doing a poor or very poor job.
Most of whom, including me, spend far too much time on Pprune.
