Jesus frank, don't mention the midnight foil fairy again - Kevin might just get another of his brilliant ideas and move the oxygen thief sideways into the job as Aviation minister

To enhance and promote aviation safety through effective safety regulation and by encouraging industry to deliver high standards of safety
says nothing about encouraging or promoting aviation which they are Hell bent on destroying.
Re the "foil fairy", I would suggest the opposition should not call for his head. This Government could self destruct with baggage like that at the next election.
I saw a very large advertisement 4 people 2 apply to become the Industry Complaints Commissioner in Friday's paper. Anyone up for it? Should be an easy yes job. So just take the money and relax.
Why do CASA spend so much of our money on big glossy ads in the newspaper? More people would see it if they posted it on Pprune.

Should be kept in place and not sacked because with his baggage, the current mob will be rolled next election.

Folks,
A very well based rumor (aka alleged eye witness account ??) has it that an FOI or AWI was escorted from Fort Fumble at YSBK by police, early this week.
Anybody have any more info., seems things are locked down tight, even the usual leaks aren't even dripping.
Tootle pip!!

In the absence of anything else, some poor bugga having a meltdown perhaps? I'd give them some space on this one for a while.

Laurie Gruzman.
Now at a later date I "google" Laurie Gruzman PADS and surprise of surprises, all Government, Hansard and CASA references are as searched, 404 FILE OR DIRECTORY NOT FOUND.
What's going on? Are we rewriting history as per Japan?
I did find this from a plumbers supplies website?
Medal For Inventor Of Rescue System
This Country is stuffed! I knew Laurie, he deserves better than this.

CMT to the rescue
The much hyped up and internaly argued and debated CMT (Certificate Management Teams) kicks off next week. Specific Inspectors assigned specific operators, what a hoot!
The best thing is that instead of hiring 'experts' to oversee each individual internal team they simply handed pretty much all of the Team Lead roles to current Team Leaders so as to save the organisation money! Many of the Team Leaders that already exist are complete Nupty's and not up for the job. How's that for a 'risk based' decision, NOT. Instead of hiring or promoting an actual expert CASA opt for the cheapest way to save a dollar! Heaven help the industry if the industry did that??
Seems like CMT is just another ill fated half arsed attempt to blow taxpayer money, sanctioned by the upper echelon and the ridiculosuly incompetent Safety Oversight Branch (SOB), the department filled with ex RAAF people.
I am also hearing that the stand off between Inspectors and Management over enterprise bargaining is gaining momentum with the Unions circling and ready for a show down. Once again the upper echelon and HR have engaged in screwing the workforce (remember they do it to industry) and now they are targeting the front line. All in line with Gillards push for each Government department to wipe costs of 10% across the board which included Fort Fumble. Perhaps they should reduce management bonuses to $0.00, remove business class fares and lounge memberships as well as scale back management salary by 10% and re-invest it into the front line and a decent set of regs, rather than have a bunch of PHD spinning f
s and burnt-out pilots tripping endlessly to Montreal and any other junket? I mean that would improve relationships internally in line with a just culture, wouldn't it?
Where is Flyingfiend, he is in the heart of Fort Fumble, surely he can offer some sound legal advice on this issue??

Thoroughly modern Sillie
The CMT seems to be like the old CAA assigned examiner of airman system they had 30 years ago. Maybe I have it wrong but it sounds a bit like the old song out of the movie, Thoroughly Modern Millie - "everything old is new again!".
ICC wanted
Did the current one get overwhelmed with BS paperwork, or say yes, yes, yes so often they reckoned she'd be good 'yeser' for higher up the food chain.
Looking at the long list of things that the ICC now CANT deal with, wont be much of a workload.
Think I might put my hand up. I know what an aeroplane looks like.
Seriously now. I was interviewed by ICC Hart and found him to be a 'straight shooter' His truth of, and finding in the matter didnt go down well with the Top Nob at the Fort. So the Skull screamed up a (No) Ethics & (Mis)Conduct Committee, made up of dubious characters in regards to E &C. to by-pass ICC Ops normal MO there.
To shaft his recommendation (AFP to deal with) a hefty taxpayer funded external investigation was called up.. to go thru it all again, but corruptly IMO, the allegations of criminality were changed to "breach of the code of conduct". I.e. protection mechanism and 'admin' sanctions only.
Mr Hart, wisely moved on to more enlightened pastures, and legal study.
The Skull displayed his true ceo leadership credentials... protect the wrongdoers at all costs. and fcuk the victim.!

As reported elsewhere the EM of Operations is about to go back to Canberra to take over the Reg Implementation Program as the present manger wants another $45 million to complete it. So the EM Ops role will be up for grabs. Fairly high level maneuvering indeed.
Pity really as he was always happy to fire up the Brisbane BBQ and cook a few snags for the Inspectors. I wonder who will be giving the sausage now?

Should have gone to Swanny in person. He reckons were rolling in cash, though down a smidgen from expected.
$45 million, chicken feed! And that should last them another 23 years for that little project.
Think of it as therapy for those hard working bureaucrats.

Re PADS;
I haven't been able to find much about it on CASA searches or government files. It was a great system that Laurie Gruzman put a lot of time and effort into. Perhaps it transgressed some tender memories of those who tried to shut it down.
I'll have another look. If it's not being used in one form or another, it should.

PADS was not a great system. It was a commercial SAR system which Laurie Gruzman tried to impose on the SAR organisation,(which had existing effective systems). It had its faults, sufficient that it was not a suitable replacement for the systems in place.
