CAsA has been "outsourcing" for decades. Themselves !!!
Having left CAsA, one re-incarnates oneself and comes back as a "consultant" to do half the same work at twice the price.
Here's an example of CAsA racketeering/aka plundering the public purse, 'dicking' the customer around and wasting time.
Appointment with a "consultant" to present a CAsA approved page from a southern region...just one page, for an identical operation.. for inclusion in the Ops Manual.
Told that it would take some hours to go over/ 'contemplate' ??? and a decision would be made, presumably about the acceptance or rejection of, in a couple of weeks or so.
It was pointed out in no uncertain terms that NO approval was needed, as it was already a CAsA approved page, so stick it in yr copy of the Ops Manual or wherever because we're out of here and into it in 2 days.
Prior to this episode we had been told to just write one.
What do you want to see in it ?
You just write it, we'll look at it and decide.
You can guess the obvious result... a knockback.!!
More time wasted.
Thus the above approach.
You can blame CAsA HR Division or whatever wanko words they call themselves, who employ these people...
they just dont ask prospective employees whether during childhood they pulled wings off butterflies and set fire to cats for amusement.
Now in their lucrative sinecure / position of power, they can continue their childhood fantasies...at great expense to the taxpayer...and the Industry.
