"Mark Skidmore closes his statement by saying he wants to see as many people flying as possible"
He will, in New Zealand perhaps, in Australia aviation is unaffordable and becoming increasingly so as the regulation factory continues to churn out ever increasing volume of gobbledegook.
Are Australian regulation writers and lawyers so inept, so incredibly incompetent that it takes them thousands of pages of indecipherable hogwash to annunciate a rule set that keeps aviation safe and the industry solvent?
Other countries manage to, and achieve much higher safety standards than us.
If our regulator can't they should be sacked and replaced with someone who can.
Thats the thing I fail to understand.
Why when in comes to anything to do with bureaucracy, Australians are expected to accept, without complaint, mediocrity and incompetence?
Mr Skidmore needs to understand, if things continue as they are, there won't be an industry in Australia to regulate.
But then again perhaps that's the governments aim.
