The only people who think they are heroes are the CAsA "investigators" who score a "hit". All without any due consideration of how they go about doing it. Legal or otherwise.
Quadrio's no hero, nobody thinks he is, BUT his case is a classic example of the CAsA way of bastardising an individual. Whatever it takes.
And the true story has yet to emerge.
The phrase 'not a fit and proper' person can be as readily applied to people within CAsA as without. No question. Its just that the result differs.
That CAsA even talks about 'due process', 'fairness' and " a just culture".. WETF that might be...is bs/ rubbish/ meaningless.
Individuals can do nothing.. and get slaughtered, and other very serious issues just dont quite seem to make it to the score board.
Why is that..corruption, cronyism, mates or bureaucratic sloth.? Go for the easy bash of an individual?
Which gets us back to the ASRR. One of the changes required,,URGENTLY.
When breaches of the regs are found, the evidence be passed to an agency independent of CAsA to fully and properly investigate the matter.
NOT CAsA dealing with its own interpretations of regs, running any agenda and protecting its own as required.
And convictions and penalties only made in a court of law. Not in the AAT.
What about the other phrase.. 'a dire and imminent threat to aviation safety'
CAsA is just that,
... To the safety of the GA industry and the sanity of aviation participants.
