All those Transport Ministers over the last three decades...what a parade of fun fair ducks. !!
At least Sharp and Vaile had a go..
I remember with great sadness (after earlier optimism) the FAA related COOP/Classification of Ops Policy adopted with fanfair by Minister Sharp and the Board in mid April 1997.
I could have continued to get on with what I was doing instead of being turned into a criminal .
CAsA 'Iron Ring & Co..must have thought the COOP statement was made on April the 1st...such was the treatment of it, to trash it and see it off the premises for good.
Alas.... opportunities lost for so many for the benefit of so much for the Industry.
Darren, thanks for calling by. But before you slam the door on the way out could you publish the findings of the "review" that you reckoned on having...was supposed to be all done and dusted by THIS Xmas !
As you said Aviation is a bit of a mystery you. As you now see, the world works in mysterious ways.
C ya !!
