Once again Aviation gets it wrong and puts a bureaucrat in charge! -"The new Director of Aviation Safety was chosen after an international search for the best available person to further develop CASA as a world leader in aviation safety regulation." - couldn't have been much of a search! No piloting experience, no engineering experience, no operational experience, no senior management in aviation positions, no form four or accountable manager experience, no aviation qualifications, no prior safety or quality qualifications or experience. Would CASA accept an operators submission for nominated post-holder if they did not have appropriate qualification or experience? Yet, the guy they put in overall charge has neither.
Incredible that those responsible for safety would be so negligent in their duties in appointing someone who has no front-line experience.
Jobs for the boys methinks
