I am not one for pseudo science mumbo jumbo, but I did once read an interesting article from an aviation psychologist (I am sorry, I have forgotten his name) who postulated that the social and decision making dynamic of the government body may well come down to something as simple as the name of that body. For example, both CASA and CAA are "Authorities" ergo, their mandate is to set rules etc for the industry and we must obey, that is what we do with an authority. However the FAA is an "Administration". In that respect they facilitate the industry, allowing it to operate in a manner that does not inhibit growth. Now I know that is not actually the case in many respects, but perhaps it does explain the governing body's general approach to many issues raised with it. It has always stuck in my mind for some reason. Food for thought?
