I used to think that IOSA meant something, but having had something to do with it, I am now convinced that it is a paper exercise checking up on paper-pushers.
As long as your paperwork is up to date, you can operate any way you want and pass the yearly inspection........
Just my opinion.

nugpot, You should continue to think that IOSA means something. If you've had something to do with IOSA before then you know that the ISARPS go way beyond what is required by CAA's. The problem is that IOSA carriers lease in non-IOSA airlines. There is nothing wrong with this practice as long as an audit is performed to ascertain that the leased airline meets the same standards. I can guarantee that unless an airline "IS" Iosa they do not meet the same standards. SAA leased an aircraft for the world cup that didn't have EGPWS which is an IOSA requirement. It was stated above that money is the deciding factor, probably followed closely by sweetheart deals. Just how far should safety be compromised?
