CASA RBT YSSY today

Any truth to the rumour a couple of Emirates chaps where pinged at the aircraft this morning and could not continue to NZ? Flight delayed waiting for other 777 crew to fill in.

Word on the street is NSW police gave CASA a heads up after encountering them whilst on the town the previous evening.

Must be a fib.

Yeah I guess you are right. Probably just a rumour.

What jurisdiction does CASA have over A6 regos and foreign AOC?
I thought they can only enforce Australian law.

It would seem that those involved in this discussion are more concerned with the areas of jurisdiction rather than the alleged breach of proffession with a flight crew reporting for duty with a blood aclcohol reading in excess of that allowed by the State regulator.

Although EK is a foreign airline they are still required to have an AUS AOC, as for jurisdiction have a look at the number of foreign aircrew that get busted in the UK.

Does not matter where you are or from or what AOC you operate under, you still have to respect the laws of that country.

There might be more condemning of the pilots if it was confirmed that it actually happened.

Go to the top of the class Nev. You are correct, and under Australian law, you can't fly an aircraft when under the influence of alcohol.

Not quite true, you are allowed up to .02 BAC!

Gee that .02 ****s me. Not because it's allowed (I think it's a reasonable buffer) but because CASA put it up on posters in plenty of places accessed by the flying public so that it looked like we were permitted to have a bit of a tipple pre-flight (failing to also mention the 8 hours).

CCTV footage of the incident!

A source deep within CASA has leaked this highly confidential CCTV footage. Looks like they had these guys under surveillance for quite a while.

Howard Hughes,
Not so, the only significance of 0.02 is that it is the minimum detectable level, all the other rules still apply.

Sure they would, just think of all the overtime/ Flex-days they could build up.

Fair enough some poor contractor no doubt doing the leg work on his weekend. Promises promises and yet I'm still to be tested.

Wish they did it more - might improve my seniority number!

My only drug? A very good coffee. (They'll ban that before long!). Actually I've seen a few of the security people nearly keel over in convulsion when I've tried to walk thru security with one. Its amazing the excitement it causes! Relax.. I suggested Valium.

And they would be?? Intoxicated? No. Drink within 8 hrs? No. Besides, it's not 0.02. The limit is LESS than 0.02. Twits.
