Definitely a concerning response from Skidmore.
Let's not forget, it's not two AAT losses that CASA have had on CVD. This is the 3rd AAT loss after the earlier Pape and Denison appeals. When will these guys accept that they've got it wrong?
"The success of my own appeal was a just reward for a great deal of hard work and wide support, but the victory was bitter-sweet, as the Authority of the day refused to let the benefit of my success flow to any other pilot with the colour vision problem. That in turn led to a second far more comprehensive appeal for all the colour defective pilots of Australia. This case was nominally on behalf of Jonathon Denison, a young colour defective commercial pilot who had qualified for night flight in New Zealand, but who was prohibited from night flight in Australia. By mutual agreement between the parties, it was decided by the AAT to treat the Denison appeal as a wide-sweeping test case." – Dr Arthur Pape
