All squeaky clean, no doubt.
Arm,
There is no such thing as "squeaky clean" in a legal frame work where the "opinion" of the inspector creates the offense. Or a legal framework so complex, convoluted and contradictory that it creates "inadvertent criminals" -- as has been found (in similar words) in inquiry after inquiry.

One of the most glaring examples was Polar Air. Years of audits, then the boss has an argument with an FOI about twin training, the boss refuses to conduct manoeuvers contrary to the CAAP, and the aircraft certification, so said FOI comes back to do an "aggressive" audit.

A rough summary, said owner of Polar found out, after legal expanses in excess of AUD$1M, that , to quote him:"CASA can do whatever they like".

Do you really think all the adverse testimony to the Forsyth inquiry, from airlines down, was evidence of a fair and honest organisation.

Tootle pip!!
