Folks
I have just spoken with Glen in the last 10 minutes and have arranged a coffee with he and his Dad Thursday morning. Glen is humbled and buoyed at the level of support on this site from all those that know him and also those he has never met!! Glen says he is "energised", certainly not depressed and ready to challenge CASA's immoral and unethical treatment of APTA, he and his family, his work colleagues and business associates. So let's help Glen show that CASA cannot be allowed bully and ride rough-shot over over aviation's small businesses by supporting him financially.
The GoFundMe site was started by Cale, one of Glen's former employees, to raise funds to commence a legal action against CASA; so if you feel like supporting Glen, any donation will help, whether it's the $ equivalent of the cost of a cup of coffee for a day, a week, a month or a year it will all help!! [unfortunately my previous post on this topic seemed to get lost in the ether]

I just donated a worthy amount, AND I FEEL GREAT ABOUT DOING IT!
And I've never met him. What has been done to him is disgusting, actually, IT'S UN-AUSTRALIAN.

I have known Glenn since he first set foot upon Moorabbin Airport. If my aging memory serves me correct Glenn has a beautiful Japanese wife whom he met when Glenn was an English language teacher in Japan. I hope I got all correct, it's been a while.
We all will have noticed Glenn's superb command of the English language in every single one of his posts.
So …….
Dick Smith got the 'top job' at CASA many years ago on a platform of a myriad of issues.
Time to promote the idea that Glenn Buckley, should be put forth as a potential future leader of CASA. Glenn has more experience than Carmody in all matters of aviation with sufficient wisdom to write letters with the expression and intent that sender and receiver would have respect for each other.
Give the matter thought, the timing is perfect; IT's TIME !!!

I hope Glen has the energy to continue to fight the good fight, and receives adequate financial support to do so. But be aware that it’s been fought many, many times before at a much higher level than a single ‘troublemaker’ like Glen, and he’ll pay a heavy price even if he ‘wins’.
The Aviation Safety Regulatory Review was ‘crowd funded’ - by the taxpayer. Outcome? Everything’s fixed.
The review of medical certification was ‘crowd funded’ - by the taxpayer. Outcome? Everything’s fixed.
These are just a couple of recent examples out of many.
Ask the CVDPA how much stress and costs a few members incurred and continue to incur fighting CASA Avmed, and how little financial support CVDPA got even from colour vision deficient pilots and aspiring pilots, much less the broader pilot population. And this is in a situation in which Avmed’s position has been shown to be based on superstition and in breach of the law about tests requiring the simulation of an operational situation, rather than an objective assessment of the evidence.
I hope I’m wrong, but I reckon the donations to Glen’s cause won’t make it to anywhere near $50K. (I will donate, as I have to the CVDPA).

Your examples are the same that the politicians use when they get granted 'large' pay rises - they were independently determined (by people we pay very well).
Crowd funding is voluntary and taxation is not? Gosh, I’ll have to write that down.
Both of you have missed my point.
Both of you have missed my point.
And this is why CASA is the way it is. Arguing about tax implications for donations. It’s the Australian way.
We sweat so much about the minuscule small stuff. There will be a committee appointed to work out tax implications for go fund me donations. A team of experts and consultants. Gender neutral mission statements. (The mission statement launch will be an event in itself, dinners and drinks). Geoffrey Thomas will get some air time. A 50/50 gender split for the committee. Although you don’t really know what you’re getting these days with fluidity. It can change in an instant Q and A will debate it. Yasmin will have an opinion about it. I mean there will even be a committee appointed for the committee. That’ll be the inclusiveness committee. Which of course will need a committee appointed to work out who’s on that committee as well. The end result will be inconclusive because the funding just wasn’t there to get a reasonable result.
Then of course it will become a parliamentary issue because of a lack of funding by the conservatives for gender inclusion in government departments.
I mean really. Give the man some dosh and give the ATO the bird (who are more rotten than casa). Or just don’t declare it.

Errrm, so far as I can tell we weren’t arguing about the tax implications of donations.
Blueskymine,
Well done Sir,
Sir Humphrey would have been proud of you. Parliamentary Yuk speak at it's best. sadly you are correct ! The only thing you left out was the Junket abroad to see how other institutions handle the same problems.

I try and look on the bright side: think of all the investment growth and jobs that could flow from a reinvigorated GA business sector.
I drive past my local airstrip and on a sunny day, with a snow covered Mt. Buller in the background, think “if this was the U. S. or New Zealand, there would be scenic flights just buzzing, both rotary and fixed wing today”
Then in summer we would have shuttles to the high plains for bushwalkers and deer hunters, plus scenic, plus winery tours, and that’s just a start. Moorabbin is 45 minutes away by C172 or three hours by road. Why not an air taxi service?
I once tried to organize a helicopter tour for Two overseas couples - pickup, winery and lunch at Chrismont in the King Valley and maybe Milawa on the way back - was all too hard. I believe you can do it in the yarra valley, but who wants to risk setting up when you can get “Buckleyed” out of business by CASA on a whim?

Glen is back!
I had the opportunity to meet with Glen today. He seem to pumped up and ready to take this fight to the end. He was energised by all the support that he’s been receiving from his family and friends. Pls spread the word about the crowd funding for Glen. He said he intends to use those funds for his legal fight against CASA
Dick Smith where are you?????
Why are you not matching dollar for dollar raised?
All talk no action.
You call for CASA change constantly... here is an opportunity for the battler to take on Goliath!
I only wish I could donate more to the cause! The more I think about what the evil empire did to me back when mythos was creating beer makes my blood boil... If only I had the smarts and balls like Glen back then.
How many license holders and AOC holders in Oz? Say $10 from every license holder, $1000 from every AOC holder what does that come to? (Yes I am far to lazy to ask Siri).......

Getting Glens story and the required funding for the legal battle, should Glen still wish to proceed (he still has a family that is a very high priority). Is more important than an individual or just some sectors of aviation getting involved - it will take planning and a strategy to move forward to a battle with CAsA.
A well drafted letter to all aviation sectors could be a good start and some suggestions could be to airport fuel suppliers X per litre for X period, charter companies X per charter hour, scenic ops X per seat sold, Maintenance X per Hr charged, airports x per landing/parking and similar.
If the X is small but repetitive, the end result will be large.
