Jeez AOTW i hope you dont think CAsA is full of "experts"
No, but it's not exclusively full of no-hopers either, as people are suggesting here. Of course there will be good and bad people in that organisation, as there are anywhere.
My point is that if you replace CASA with something else, that something is going to end up pretty much the same as we have now because of the kind of society we live in.
We all think we could do better, but you're never going to get rid of the requirement to have enforceable rules vetted to within an inch of their lives by lawyers.
The line that CASA is running a conspiracy to kill aviation in Australia is just an excuse to have a whinge. I don't have any affiliation to CASA and I don't particularly like the way they write their regulations, but in the main I think they're just trying to do their job within the unavoidable constraints of the law.
