To be devil's advocate - how much have Cobham been hindered by the useless regulator. I submitted documentation for approval in May 2015. I need the work approved to help run my business and earn some money. 16 months later I have had back one request to clean up some typos and phraseologies - and that's it. How is any business supposed to function effectively when held to ransom like this.
And no disrespect to the people at CASA - it is a shot at a unit made dysfunctional by beuracracy, snouts in troughs and a total self focussed government.
