Relax. It's all in hand.

They've created "new positions for "Stakeholder Engagement Group Manager", "Designated Aviation Medical Examiner (DAME) liaison officer", and "Industry Relations Officer"." They've "established a Stakeholder Engagement Group that provides dedicated stakeholder engagement functions". If you create a position and give it a name that is a perceived solution to a problem, the problem is solved. Even better if you give a whole "group" the name. Those names will be on doors and cards and signature blocks. Job done!

They've "established the Director’s Advisory Panel to provide him with informed, high-level advice". This is a giant leap forward because, presumably, the DAS has been doing the job without the benefit of informed, high-level advice. That would explain quite a lot.

And "key manuals are being revised and updated to ensure there is standardised, current information on rules, processes and how assessments are undertaken." That could take quite a while, because there's probably no one left on the planet who understands the whole of the regulatory Frankenstein that's been let loose.

My favourites:

"CASA will develop a new Service Charter".

"A culture change process is underway within CASA to drive continuous improvement and strengthen commitment to consistently meeting service delivery timeframes".

Translation: The organisation is completely stuffed. (Munted, for NZ readers.)
