Well said. National Pride is one thing, arrogance, and ignorance is systemic in the CASA system that has a disturbing amount of unnecessary counterproductive self-serving bureaucracy that is an economic cancer with ever escalating costs.
The only other place worse is the UK which is where CASA plagiarize expressions like "Underpinning knowledge" and develop acronyms for expressions that are only used by CASA that no one in the rest of the world understands.
Going to American "part Numbers" is an illusion of common sense when its really just thin veneer or white wash to hide a bureaucratic nightmare.
CASA have a vested self-serving financial interest in ever increasing bureaucracy with ever increasing Rules rather than applying the KISS principle.
Australia is lucky for the WW2 Event as many of our regulations originate from RAAF documents that were common around the world.
It's rather interesting looking at how simple and practical those old regs are.
I never ever forget meeting the Director General of the DCA in his office and he spent the entire time with his golf club, hitting balls into a glass jar.
