glenb, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying CASA are all good, I'm just (as I've said a few times) responding to some of the wilder accusations and personal slagging of Mark Skidmore by people who don't know him.
Part of it is that I flew in the RAAF for quite a while and when I see these blanket quotes about how ex-RAAF live in ivory towers and couldn't organise a root in a brothel I get a bit annoyed.
I'm assuming it's new manuals and approvals, and ADSB which have caused the problems for you, and sorry to hear it. I was a business owner (not aviation) and I sympathise with your situation.
Sunfish, I do think Skidmore is trying to change things, and to address outcomes of the Forsyth review, and I don't reckon personal attacks on him are achieving anything.
Anyway, got to go to work.
