Two Dogs, arm out the window,
As apologists for CASA, maybe you don't want to understand the shortcomings of the Act, well canvasses on pprune, which, without amendment, will means nothing of significance will change.
The shortcomings are well know, up to and including Ministerial level, I discussed them with Laurie Brereton, when he was Minister for Transport. Every responsible Minister since (except Truss) has solemnly promised to amend S3A and S.9 of the Act, none have.
In short, the bureaucrats have had a complete stranglehold, and as Creampuff has pointed out, time and again, the present situation suits the politicians, the damage to Australian aviation runs a very poor last to political survival.
As to hundreds and thousands of pages of CASA "policy", the law (and the attitude of "certain" CASA employees) trumps policy, every time - particularly in court, or any other legal/quasi legal proceedings.
Tootle pip!!
