Ben support
There is now for the first time some real momentum thanks especially to Ben who has shown can be done with sufficient fortitude and reason.
The one other excellent outcome is the unity of the main GA groups. It has become now so clear, Jeff Boyd admitting publicly, as detailed in Ben's letter, that the rules are a mess. If you scripted or tried to explain the circumstances of CASA's waste and it's shocking treatment of individuals and the whole industry, including the airlines, Mr Average would be incredulous, hundreds of millions and 28 years.
We really need that unity, all egos and special interests, pet theories, sensible or not must now be put to one side.
Our message must be "change the Act" and we will not rest until we get a totally new dynamic from Government.
Ideally CASA be disbanded and folded into the Transport Ministry. Maybe a revamped Board with KPIs, a substantial reduction in CASA numbers and a biennial statement from Government on industry growth. Whatever happens the rusty old Iron Ring must be broken and buried for good.
