CASAs function is thus characterised by both parties as :
(1) Ensuring passengers on airlines don't die in a screaming death plunge and,
(2) Preventing crazy pilots in all other little aircraft from making their own screaming death plunge into the members of the general public below them.
not totally correct old son.
the islamic world has put the cat among the pigeons and the problem is preventing terrorism.
aviation provides a wonderful mechanism for unchallenged attack and that is what worries the numpties to their core.
my mate the prison psychologist told me a little while ago that criminals in australian society only exist at about a 3% of the population.
97% of us are honest upright trustworthy citizens.
the islamic terror worries have an entire army of security utterly foxed.
they don't know where the next threat will come from.
so instead of seeing us as honest people to deal with they sit there worried and slowly going insane in their efforts to prevent a calamity.
of course if you charge a paperwork generating abortion like CAsA with a task of actually doing something. ...well they're stuffed aren't they.
if you want a happy future just ignore the nutters totally and go flying.
