717 NJS - What's Going On?

Plus any Aussie pilot still needs 1000 hours part 121 time in order to upgrade.
So I don’t know why anyone would wait until 2024.

It is slightly perverse that we need accidents in order to be safe these days.
At least it will be easy to come up with a new name for the regulator: just remove the word "safety" that was inserted last time and voila! Probably have some old CAA letterhead lying around somewhere in Fort Fumble.

Australia is perilously close to a jet hull loss. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this bad. The Virgin Brisbane closed runway should have been a wake up call for EVERYONE. The cheese is aligning.
And meanwhile, CASA seem intent on wasting resources on things like stonewalling Glen Buckley for years to avoid essentially saying “we’re sorry”. They should perhaps be focusing on shutting down a jet RPT operator whose engines regularly keep going bang, often in spectacular fashion.
I hope like anything I’m wrong. I feel very uneasy about it all, and a lot of my colleagues feel the same - it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

And yes, all of my contemporaries (many now resigned/retired due sense of humour failure) hold the same view of the inevitability of a serious incident. I don't think I managed to train enough capable F/Os and Capts to cover the gap (nor managed to get rid of enough of the wooden ducks), and many of those headed OS to greener pastures.

I wonder how much the sign on bonus is, they don’t seem to mention it

Says was doing CBR-MEL flight so maybe not air return
