How to Waste Money - $140 English Tests

[aussie027]

I am the same as left270, ATO filled out paperwork EPL form after a CIR renewal and that was that. Done and dusted , no mess , no fuss the way it should be for all people who were raised in an English speaking country with English as their first and main/only language.

The endless money grabbing caused by CASA regs etc by CASA itself and private companies taking advantage of these ridiculous dodgy regs is sickening and destroying what is left of a struggling and slowly dying industry.

With the average age of prof pilots in all industry sectors being IIRC approx 45-50yo, same with LAME's, technicians etc they need to be reducing fiscal costs and admin burdens everywhere not making them higher/worse to get new blood into the industry.
