To predict CASA actions in relation to any potential safety issue it appears that the most reliable predictor is cost. CASA will select the most expensive solution in terms of actual cost incurred plus opportunity costs.

The first thing CASA might like to try is the application of rigorous cost/benefit analysis, including the cost expectation of damage and accident due to incorrect removal and replacement of cables, which is not a zero figure, and the opportunity cost of out of service aircraft vs. the cost of doing absolutely nothing outside of existing procedures.

to put that another way, CASA actions could potentially do more harm than good.
