Licence verification
As another example of pathetic service from CLARC....a few years back I had to supply my new overseas employer with an emailed verification letter (basically a licence record printout ), filled in form, paid my $50 or so, waiting waiting ...over a month. Rang CLARC from O/S to explain I was sitting in a overseas hotel unpaid waiting for the email.....told "we have 35 days to supply it". Not even a expedited service I would have even been willing to pay for. Other guys on my course, UK CAA, and FAA had theirs provided, next or same day for no charge! GCAA 2 days, free.
When FAA has an online system where an applicant can request a license verification letter and the system generates and immediately sends it to an email address specified for free, CASA charges $50 for it.
Such a backward country it is. But what choice did I have? I need a job in Australia. Gotta go through draconian government body.
