G’Day Creamie. I see your former colleague is still in there, batting for the home team.

Fairly substantive evidence I would have thought?
(i) verbal aviation industry rumour;
(ii) Internet aviation bulletin board PPRuNe (professional pilots' rumour network);
(iv) CASA safety reporting hotline complaints from concerned and reputable
(anonymous?) aviation industry sources;
(vii) Alert Bulletins from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau's Confidential Aviation Incident Report system ("CAIR"), which appear to be from your
(anonymous?) pilots.

I guess the Commissioner is suggesting one can’t be a “little bit pregnant” (or guilty), as the case may be:
“(f) the applicant's private licences have not been cancelled so I infer he is still regarded as a safe pilot; “

As the matter has been referred to future criminal proceedings, the Commissioner’s findings appear appropriate?
“….staying the implementation or operation of the decision under review.”

I concur, it will be very interesting to see how CASA’s decisions holds up in a real Court. And if they don't, one wonders at the potential for civil litigation for recovery of lost earnings etc?

You've been quiet lately? I missed you.....
