CASA Chess Game
As I said years ago. Nothing will happen until there are Three large smoking holes in the ground. I pray to God that it won't be any of me and mine when it inevitably happens.

Far be it from me to detract from your wonderful tour d'horizon and showing us all of CASA's flaws. Thank goodness my own professional life has thus far escaped such hawk-like scrutiny.
One thing intrigued me though.....your reference to the "farcical training centre". As it only had its first course start yesterday, what exactly is already "farcical" about it?
Just wondering.

You tell 'em GD.

What!, you mean apart from it being a stage managed exercise because the Yanks are coming and we don't want another bad report card to be hidden away from prying eyes; or is it that the trainees will learn how to subvert Reg 138 and replace it with the latest whim of policy prescribed in the AOCM; or will it be that they learn video interpretation techniques to provide selective evidence in a suitable manner.
Oh there are many, many wonderful things to learn at CASA school. Man, how much farce can be dished up in one pile before smoko on a Wednesday morning. Oh

Kharon your response needs no further adding, exactly my friend exactly.
Algiers, read Kharons response. If you knew the mentality and methodology of CASA you wouldn't have asked me your silly question in the first place.
Besides you should already know the answering considering you work on level 1. Bit crowded in there now hey?

DB said: CASA had $4 Million cut from their budget.
Question is which little piggy fell off the end of the trough??

The trough is only ever full
Nah, collateral damage. No cuts will come from the executive trough!
Some shuffling of monies, project cuts, a bit of hocus pocus voodoo trickery and maybe turning off building lights to save money and a few less surveillance jollies for the inspectors.
All executive bonuses and remuneration will stay intact. All consultant mates to be retained. Remember, this is a government organization which has mastered the art of smoke n mirrors over many decades.
They are hoping to make a healthy financial return from the 'training center of excrement' which in turn will fund future folly. Only problem is that they are assuming the CASA model will be like the JAA's training center, oh boy won't industry be disappointed!!!
You know it's really hard finding a photo of a pig 'leaving' a trough, sorry K.

Training School and Bris seminar
With the new training school at casa headquarters in Bris I don't understand why the certification and manufacturing seminar is being held off site in the CBd.

C'mon Biscuit do you really need to ask??
To start with The Skull and friends will always prioritize flying ops and airworthiness, they will get first dibs on the training center at the BNE HQ. All those other insignificant disciplines and pesky parts of the aviation industry pale in significance and importance.
Plus, the reason for using the training facilities in the BNE CBD is simple - Taxpayers foot the bill, so who cares??? Money to burn baby, spend and be free! Rush that training through, tick those boxes, build up those numbers because Sherrif FAA or Sherrif ICAO is coming !!!

2012 Inaugural Seminar
Pre lobotomy 1st year Undergraduates.
How to survive under a graduate.
Smoke and Mirrors.
Deniability, obfuscation and abrogation.
Whims, fancies and fairy tails as tools of confusion.
How to use financial pressure to enforce the AOCM policy as law.
Misleading AAT, Coroner and Industry*.
*Note: A credit in misleading the Senate does not count for this course, basics 101 'shooting fish in barrels' is deemed to cover this element adequately.
Post Lobotomy Graduates.
Expenses and bonus manipulation.
The true art of the Show Cause. (Golden West Mafia Rules).
The art of avoiding Courts, evidence, proof and other unpleasant stuff.
Snakes and Ladders for beginners.
Regulatory interpretation (Bankstown approved method).
Creative excuses for delay, diversion and non written response.
Introduction to avoiding the ICAO and FAA spotlight.
Learning to live with malice and aforethought.
The art of being completely unaccountable, for anything, ever.
Avoiding having your evidence abandoned in an AAT hearing**.
** This module is mandatory now due to previous close calls.
Note: If the FAA boys are still hanging about we will provide special guest lecturers and audience participation briefing cards.
Downtown – they're training a candidate for Master Chef, it's all a PR stunt.
"It makes good sense" said the Minister for Trans Pacific Ice Skating, "we can really get a safety message out through food, and a hero MC candidate can charm the FAA to death before the cholesterol gets to thick".

K, excellent work, a great laugh at the beginning of the day!
You left out the Graduation Ceremony where all the successful graduates (that is the 'intent' of the training) receive a pink pigs nose! Very handy for sniffing out troughs and then immersing themselves in the taxpayer funded overflowing bottomless party pit!

Safety is not a joke Joyce
This is serious couse structure approved by 'he who must not be named', once it get rolled out and going forward in the robust regulatory manner, there will be advanced courses offered (Masters class), but that is only for the chosen few who will be duly annointed, then appointed to top trough duties. Qualifications must include----.
GD - glad you liked it, Pigs in Clover pic. right here please.

Top shot Frank, could also be likened to the Dutch legend 'Hans Brinker', the boy who stuck his thumb in the dike! There is a difference though as I don't think the Skull's thumb is big enough to stop the leaks....

Very quiet at "Fort Fumble" this week. This made news however;
CASA wishes to advise that the DRAFT CAAP 51-1(2) – Defect Reports which was published yesterday Thursday 17 May 2012 has been temporarily removed and will be republished at a later date.

Tool
No CASA regulation = free reign
$$ rule management decisions. Take CASA away from organisation oversight and $$ take over. You don't need to comply with draconion regulations, don't report defects, just carry out the mission.
Don't argue.
