The whole ASIC thing is a total farce and contributes NOTHING to safety.
More cars have been used to blow up buildings than aeroplanes!!!!
Of interest, My old man drives a concrete truck. As part of his job, he has had to obtain an ASIC, so he can be ESCORTED to the point of delivery at YMML.
What's the point? he is escorted, and if you look a the regs for movement on a security controlled airfield, you must either hold an ASIC or be escorted by an ASIC holder...he's being escorted at all times...just another 200 bucks to the ASIC industry.
It's a fuggin joke!
Sack all the useless muppets running this and put em on welfare...it'll be cheaper!
