if you look at the sheer audacious incompetence that is CAsA the only similar precedent would be the rum corps of the initial settlement.
people I know see my posts here and ask why I hate the ex-raaf so much.
I dont.
in fact my brother spent his entire working life in the RAAF.
what I hate with a passion is government incompetence.
if you look objectively at the incredible misfit between reality and australian aviation legislation the cause of it all is that incompetent government ministers have hung their trust on the only flying heros the knew. the RAAF.
so CAsA and its precedents have almost entirely been staffed by the retired RAAF.
what would the RAAF know about civilian aviation? next to nothing is the answer.
they have never flown aircraft in a civilian environment.
they have never flown civilian aircraft.
they have never owned aircraft.
they have never maintained an aircraft they owned.
they have always flown in an environment of infinite money.
just as a barometer I asked my brother what he thought of Air Vice Marshall (retired) Skidmore now that he has become head of CAsA.
I thought the reply sounded like something something a fckuing muppet.
so 'arm out the window' why do you stridently support this corruption we know as CAsA?
it wouldn't be that you work for them out of the cairns office would it?
what I can never understand is that CAsA can't see how badly they have stuffed up.
