"The savings in forests being turned into paper, alone. would be worth it".


Maybe CAsA should have to apply for EPA approval before promulgating any new regulations. Given the current requirements for paper work Tasmania's old growth forests are in real danger.


Hopped in an aircraft the other day for a two hour flight.


Wondered why I couldn't get my seat back where it would usually be (Long legs).


Seems like CAsA had decreed that the huge volumes of shelfware, that nobody looks at, must be accessible to the flight crew, not down the back under the luggage, so they were jammed behind my seat.


Spent a very uncomfortable two hours with my knees in my ears, my right leg completely numb, to a point I could hardly walk when we finally landed and the pins and needles were excruciating.


We now apparently required to carry the entire ops manual, thus limiting fuel uplift by a couple of hundred kilo's, and removal of a passenger seat to accommodate it.


If I get deep vein thrombosis out of this can I or my dependents sue CAsA??...Probably not given what has happened to the Pel Air flight nurse.
