Oh so true. The Iron Ring of upper level management of long term professional spin doctors like Aleck et al put paid to any positive changes imho.
The ONLY way to save GA on Oz is for a Royal Commission or Judicial Inquiry so that all the horror stories of bureaucratic buggery,cronyism, corruption and illegalities can be exposed. Once the REAL story is out about the rotten state of CAsA then maybe, just maybe the whole sh*t heap can be deconstructed, leaned out and rebuilt with new non CAsa pro aviation people and the FAA regs
And many things like investigations, FOI and MLO removed to independent bodies...so fair dealing and common decency might prevail
Otherwise it will just be the same old as for past decades... the circular saw of revolving ceos and crapulous "philosophies" and resulting regulations (sic) cutting GA to the death.
