I think you have problems mate that you need to go and deal with. Troll away to your hearts content, it’s your own time that you are wasting.

Another Bureaucrat, lead by a RAAF retiree. I’m sure they possess all the requisite skills to run a civilian aviation safety regulatory.......

The dead wood in CASA must be feeling very safe right now.

Another 5 years of ‘Yes Minister’.

Thank you Mr Forsyth for your recommendation, CASA is so much better without a pilot at the helm

All the Senate enquiries, all the reviews over the last 20 years have not moved any government to change the status quo. Only one single event of a jet hull loss will prove that the regulator is not doing its job properly. That event in my view will be at Ballina. If the new appointees fix that then hats off to them.

Women first

Well they love their women at CASA. Ms Massey did a stint with the regulator and disappeared into the ether not long after Deputy DAS MQ left after being pineappled and sidelined my the Screaming Skull. Everyone in the aviation industry knows how she gets ‘promoted’. Anyway, surprisingly they took her back and now she now sits up there in the executive ranks so perhaps she will give new CEO Ms Pip Spence a few tips on how to navigate through the field of male colleagues.

Ms Spence’s career longevity will be under attack from day 1 as there are many alpha males working within the corridors of CASA who will be aghast at McComick’s ‘captains pick’. And should she cross paths with anyone like Aleck and Crawford and their malfeasance minions, there will be a bloodbath.

Wow. So much misogyny, so little time. Way to go champ.

Mods - my request from Bourketown is to Tootle Pip Epicurus - permanently!

If they and other gutless wonders like them want to by name slander individuals with filthy misogynist general inferences they should be doing it elsewhere with their real name attached.

Some of the comments on this thread about certain people within CASA are absolutely deplorable, and should have been vetted by the mods before the comments saw the light of day.

Whilst some of the past decisions made by a few individuals within CASA maybe questionable, the slander by at least 2 commentators on this thread towards certain CASA personnel past, present and future are totally out of line. If I was on the end of some of the disgusting personal attacks, I’d be seeking legal advice for deformation of character.

I’m sure these commentators hold a professional aviation licence and are not fit to retain them in my opinion, based on their behaviour behind the keyboard whilst on this forum.

Mods, drag their IP addresses up!

Oooooh Look!

....Pilots are now getting trendy and joining the culture wars...

Do we "Cancel" Epicurus? What about those of us needing 'safe spaces" because we have been "triggered" by a naughty word and feel "uncomfortable"?


Lets all be politically correct and vilify all white males for being "Racist" as well.

....But I guess Australia never had a tradition of free speech like the USA. Over there you should hear what they say about VP Harris.


Ps. One of my co workers once got ahead rather brilliantly by similar action to Harris, however poetic justice intervened. She married him and last I heard they were both fat and miserable.

Amazing! I have a post deleted because I said the best thing P377 did for aviation was to retire from it yet there is a statement about a specific person that suggests she was promoted because of sexual favours! Happy to have this post deleted if Epicurus post is deleted.

Remember this is a Professional Pilots Forum!

Having been in the industry for over 30 years and having worked for and with some different characters, the rubbish that’s been published on this thread is unacceptable in my opinion.

Australia is a nanny state, I totally agree! However it’s not an excuse to personally attack individuals publicly, no matter who they are, sex, religion, nationality, background, who they work for and all the rest of it.

If anyone wants to know who I am, PM me!

Professional Forum

I agree with Duck Pilot that slandering people by name has no place on a professional forum.

Moderators need to take action and ensure dignity for all in our posts!

Back to school and learn that "deformation" is not "defamation" in the context of your sentence......

Well you are Para, you are one of the commentators I was referring to and the other poster.

PM me if you like, together with your phone number. It would be great to talk and I don’t apply that in a bad way as I know where you are coming from.

Time to move on, with all respect.

Please enlighten me Nicolas Chauvin, how did Kamala Harris ‘get ahead.’

You are a strange one sir. You say that you ‘know where I am coming from’. Really? You have psychic abilities and a crystal ball? And thanks but no thanks, as I’m actually not interested in discussing or sharing anything with you. And if I did engage with you in some dialogue, we wouldn’t be “moving on”, so that’s a big no no. We all have different communication styles - some say little, some are politically correct, some are downright obtuse, some take the piss and some call it how it is in their own unique style. Where I fit in, well that’s not for me to judge. As for epicurus, again whatever, that’s his or her way of verbalising things. Not my business and I have a big care factor of zero. I mean seriously, in this day and age you can’t do or say anything without being persecuted for it. Hell, I’m a Kiwi by blood and we cop white each and every day. I mean, you’ve seen Jacinda’s teeth, right? We shouldn’t be fighting amongst ourselves, there are bigger battles to be won.

Yes, they are held deep inside the bowels of TRiM. On one hand I see the humour in your comment, and it wouldn’t surprise me one little bit. On the other hand, would CASA really want to chase down errant and wayward posters? After all, there is quite a lot of truth in what gets spilled on this website and a number of good folk have kept ‘evidence’ of their unfortunate dealings with CASA. Just because a person doesn’t have the financial capacity or the strong mental health to fight the regulator, doesn’t mean that person doesn’t have a whole cupboard full of smoking guns.

I think you'd be better to seek redress for defamation of character - deformation is just getting bent out of shape.......

But to prove what kind of effective ‘leaders’ they are going to really be, let’s see them execute the following top 3 moves;
1. Send Crawford packing
2. Send Aleck packing
3. Issue an apology to Glen Buckley and compensate him as he should be.

If these two new muppets can do the above then their is a tiny semblance of hope that CASA can be reformed, and regain industry trust and confidence. If they can’t do the above, then the same sh#t will continue as it has for the past 40 years.
The only thing that isn't surprising about the appointments is the continuation of this government's ideological fetish for appointing ex military people to every damn civil role they can think of - the GG qualifications nowadays may as well say "Must have served in the ADF" - sure, I guess like any organisation, occasionally a good leader may emerge but these people treat this as it's almost the ONLY qualification - let's face it, a lot of the military have made their career by following orders, how the hell does that qualify someone for this type of position????

Could someone remind the government that at least some of the ADF leadership were in the job when the alleged crimes occurred in Afghanistan....... not implying anyone appointed is responsible but would it not make sense to re-think this fetish for appointing ex military people to manage things.... when clearly at least some of the MOST important aspects of military activity have seemingly not been managed at all???
