S l o w l y, s l o w l y, catch the monkey and nail em for good. :ok:

Gaunty,

Yes, that strategy will work, but! He needs to survive long enough to implement it.

Today is a good day for a bet. I bet that that the bad guys will roll him, because their very survival depends upon it.


Capt Starlight

See above.


Pinnochio's survival is very worrying and supports the odds that the bad guys are winning.

Stinkfinger

Another source has also rumoured the return of the Prodigal.

As Ronald and the Prodigal are mutually exclusive,
Ronald's rumoured departure (not yet confirmed, but highly probable) would be necessary.

Looks like the Cairns branch of the Townsville Office will be well stocked with credible and respected FOI's,
with the glaring exception of the Night Specialist.

Many are of the opinion that the Night Specialist, with the removal of Ronald,
will succumb to peer group examples of how to regulate in a professional manner.
He is, after all, rumoured to be capable of good behaviour at times.

Mainframe, what is the time frame for your bet? End of the year?
or just eventually?

Mainframe

with about a week to go I think you've lost your bet.

B1 and B2 are still at the helm, and more heads have rolled, with more rumoured to come.

It appears that NH, to whom this thread is dedicated,
may be out of CASA.

Check the CASA website, complaints link. She's gone !

Disturbingly, the sorcerer's apprentice, Pinnochio, survives despite his proven and continuing record of misconduct.

AC survives and all wish him well, and hope that he continues breaking tradition by inducting qualified and ethical FOI's.

2006 will see some welcome changes as more of the rogue element will be invited to walk the plank.

Mr Starlight and Gaunty,

This is one bet I don't mind losing.

B1 is needed to finish what he has started. He has observed and assessed and finally acted.

Keep swinging B1, or they'll get you when you relax.

Yes Gaunty, you were right, slowly slowly etc.

Stinkfinger, any idea what happened to NH? and why?

As predicted, and supporterd by an unconfirmed rumour, someone who needed to do so a long time ago,
yesterday was asked to walk the plank.

When the Identity is known, (Check the website for heads of sections early next year), no one will be surprised, and many will be delighted.

B1 and B2, keep at it, you're finally finding them, don't stop now, start the New Year with a few less handicaps.

Check your information again Captain. As at this morning he is only on normal annual leave. Nice thought .... but incorrect I'm told.

The mind boggles .... you heard it first on PPRuNe!! AC moving to Brisbane as Manager, GA Operations under RC.

Now who is will be at the helm of FNQ office? And .... nah, won't go there....... :E

Woomera

Woomera, thanks, but wait till next year.

Remember, None of the misfits have actually been sacked,
all have been asked to go away on leave, burn it all up, then come back with a signed resignation.

This is done to maximise their Superannuation payment by around $20,000 extra, typically.

While it's nice to see them go,
this method merely condones the misconduct and does not send the right message to potential misfits.

A few proper sackings, publicised, making them accountable for their misconduct, may send a clearer message.

Good news for AC, the "New Area Manager", bad news for NQld.
Unless they've cloned him !
His task was onerous, fix the most dysfunctional office in Australia.

He achieved that and is now destined for greater things, deservedly. No fool, but a gentleman, firm and fair.

Re: CASA reply to PPRuNe email re TVL.
 

Golden hand shake ?, good one !!.

Hi Stinky,

Golden handshake it seems.

Offenders caught out,instead of facing termination, simply allowed to "go on leave" and consider their future.

This exit method provides approx $25,000 of extra super above what they would have received if sacked.

The moral of the story is "Don't get caught, and if you do, no worries, we'll look after you".

This amounts to blatant condoning of misconduct in lieu of punishing offenders.

On another note, there is an unsubstantiated rumour that the Townsville office will be closed,
and some staff relocated back to the hub of GA activity, Cairns.

GA in Townsville is currently almost non existent.

Rumour has it that one of the FOI's recently sold his house in Cairns and bought in Townsville,
now has to sell in Townsville and buy back in Cairns.

If the Townsville office rumour proves to have substance, looks like problems has been properly fixed at last.

Yes, slowly, slowly it's happening, and it appears I lose my bet on the survival odds of B1.

He's actually beating them !

Mainframe and Stinkfinger,

Any truth in the rumour going around that a nasty little man with a moustache was seen driving a cab in Townsville?

Another rumour has it that he may have purchased it with his Golden Handshake?

Anyone out there to verify this, and I believe someone would like a photo as proof if possible.

Is the report that Mr Paul Phelan has been refereed to as publishing available on line?


Does Pinnochio have initials?

Ejector
Check your PM's.

To the Woomeri:

This thread has enabled B1 and B2 to evaluate and act on the content.

The thread has served it's purpose well and I suggest that it is maybe time to close and or lock it.

In support of that, "the CASA reply" instigator no longer works for CASA and has no further interest in CASA or matters regarding the NQAO, Townsville.

Numerous identities associated with the misconduct have sought career options outside of CASA and are currently pursuing those options,

with the glaring exception of Pinnochio, the compulsive prevaricator.

It is anticipated that the Townsville office is to be shortly closed.

The "new area manager', has rightfully been recognised for his efforts in cleaning up
what was arguably CASA's most dysfunctional and out of control office,

and has been promoted to management in General Aviation Operations.

Prior to moving on and upwards, the area manager has set in place a nucleus of respected professionals to form the core of a new era in Cairns.

Well done B1, B2, AC, and especially Pprune.

All that remains to close this disgraceful saga are the criminal charges for the criminal acts perpetrated by the misfits.

Hopefully they will have been actioned before the Public Review,

which should then establish that CASA did properly put it's house in order once it had overwhelming evidence of the need to act.

There are also signs of remedial action occurring in other rogue offices.

Over to you Woomeri, but I think no further benefit is to be gained by maintaining this as an active thread.

Mainframe

Apologies for the 11th hour posting BUT...

...what happened to NC?

Yes. This thread has served it's purpose well but it's time has come.
