Creamie, sometimes you just crack me up.

"My opinion is who ever wrote the MOS, had no idea what they were doing...."
Of course they didn't !!! Have a brows through the part 61 MOS, amateurish drivel written by some ex Aeroclub Walla, its almost a gross insult to any professional pilot.
Our Pollies and the general public imagine there is a very high level of competence within CAsA, well after all they are the "Regulator".
I agree there are some very experienced, very competent people in CAsA, as Kharon is wont to say, White Hats.
But by and large the majority of front line and management people are ex RAAF failures or industry rejects, and therein lies the rub, and the minister needs to wake up.
He's being manipulated by very experienced "Sir Humphries".
This is not a game where the winner takes all.
The very survival of an industry that employs people, generates income that adds to the national GDP is at stake.
The alternative is a complete collapse and far more costly subsidization of essential services and the political flack from a whole heap of people who can no longer enjoy their passion.
