CASA Drug and Alcohol Mailout
 

You have a very good eye.

Mine is already in the bin so can not see if it is the same!

Although seriously where is the accountability in our regulator....who approves that sort of expenditure!?!?

You didn't see the month of March?

Very good, you passed the test. Your alcohol and drug free.:D

GA715

Of course. How silly of me.:ugh:

Whoever designed and proof read that flyer at CASA must have a substance abuse problem.

Did they send any samples to try with the package ?

I cant find room on my desk to put the damn thing, bloody piece of rubbish what the hell is it anyway?

i lost march 09 in a drug and alcohol fueled haze, seems next march is already lost along with all of the year in between!
;)

Just another waste of money.

They would get better market penetration by posting these things as threads on PPRUNE.......... and then get free editing ....... all in the name of safety! :O

J:}

Oh is that what it was!! Mine was ripped straight in half and into the recycle bin,will there be a fee from casa for doing that??

It's all a plot, Troj764.

Effective 2011, we will be moving to a 6 month year so that CASA can make more efficient use of its resources in an effort to test as many miscreants as possible..

Henceforth, the months shall be named as follows:

Jabruary
Marpril
Mune
Julgust
Septober
Nocember

Thank you for your cooperation.:E

Now get back to work! :8

G'Day Hugh

What do you mean "Get Back To Work"? Have you seen my roster? Working every single day over Easter - so much for being 'Part Time'.

I may even get a 'Simulated' Easter Egg on one of the days - if you get my drift!:hmm:

I got two. Same name and address. Is CASA trying to tell me something subtly?? :=

Ahh just looked at the calender through my kids kalaidescope thingy, and whamo there was march and all the days started blending and tangerine trees and marmalade skies, somebody calls me I answer quite softly,
the wife saying get off pprune, stop gossiping and yes hugh she says GET BACK TO WORK.:(

Hugh, I got a good laugh out of your post. I tried to do the applicable online course and fold together my casa plastic calender. Unfortunately after 3 bottles of red its all a bit difficult.

What a pack of tossers and we pay for this tripe!!.

DM

Yeah! Whoever thought of this one should.........(drum roll....)

be told to........MARCH!! :ugh:

I don't think CASA's desk calender should have even been made and certainly should have been proof read properly.:ugh::mad:
In my entire life I've never seen a calender incorrectly printed.
All that was needed was the cover letter and pamphlet.

I have taken my calender and letter to my Federal MP to see what he thinks and get him to ask a few Q of CASA as to how such an error occured and how much this cost us all. If the calender was not included the letter and pamphlet would have fit and been mailed in a standard letter envelope and not an A4 one.
I think it is a complete waste of our taxpayer dollars.:ugh::mad:
If I want a desk calender I will go buy one, I don't need the Govt wasting our money to give me one that is "free" and misprinted to boot.:mad:

Love your new calender Months Hugh:ok:

New Months?
 

Methinks Hughie has a few of Larry Pickerings old political satirical referrences laying around to paraphrase.
Geez I remember them, I must be getting past it.

Aussie 027, good on you for forwarding to your MP to ask the appropriate questions. :ok: I thought of doing the same but couldn't be fagged and just threw the lot in the bin. :zzz:

Well done CASA in making complete prats of yourselves and spending a fortune sending out worthless heaps of garbage. :mad:

Sorry Pharc,
No paraphrasing. Made it up myself. Who's Larry Pickering?

Jarse,

You've got to be joking. Who's Pickering????

The Airservices training was pretty much 'Cocaine is awesome and it is pretty friggn hard to get caught using it, get on it'. Shame I already am addicted to Smack.

Aside from the March issue, in 2010 Fridays and Saturday's are in bold, not Sat/Sun on the far right hand side columns.

Does this mean that I dont have to do my March Sim next year?:ok:

Have seen a Vet Affairs calender with June 31 but the vets didn't get an extra days pension.

Good, I am glad they got rid of March no more march flies, I no longer have to buy three birthday presents, and the stores will be able to take down the xmas decorations and put the easter bunny up straight away, and why do they keep sending me stuff, I am retired, and if I want to get pis$ed and try party drugs at the next rage party I will. :E

tmpffischAside from the March issue, in 2010 Fridays and Saturday's are in bold, not Sat/Sun on the far right hand side columns.

Maybe they were going though withdrawals by the time they got to that end of the matrix?

This is a a perfect example of the piss poor performance we get from those who are paid top money to control our standards.

By the same standards that CASA would have me stood down and re-trained, and re-trained again if I failed, and sacked if I failed again. I would expect that the incompetent manager that approved this waste of our money, is stood down pending an investigation.

No wonder our economy is going down the chute, we waste so much of our hard earned on this crap.

Hi YPJT,
Thanks, I will post the reply info from my MP whenI get it, hopefully with some costing numbers.:ok:

Do you think if we asked CASA nicely they would send out some nice furry stuffed toys? You know, a little kangaroo or a wombat with a pilots helmet for the dash?

You could collect the entire set, but I guess you could only display all of them in cruise.

Dear Mr CASA,
Thank you for your lovely colored calendars so beautifully printed on high quality plastic.

However, I already have a number of other calendars, so in future could you not waste your hard earned money on such excesses and put that cash towards my licence and medical renewal fees, thus saving me some cash too.

Thank you.

I'm just waiting for the new corrected version to arrive so i can file that one in the bin with the first one.

mikk_13, you won't get one unless you have paid for the calendar subscription amendments, at $420 for 11 months, $780 will get you the 12 month "March Package."

LZ
If you do buy the 'March Package', it can only be claimed as a 'work expenses' tax deduction if you actually fly during the month of March.

Have I created a monster?:E

I have just got back to my office for the first time in 2 weeks to find a pile of about 200 brochures on random drug testing, and 2 cylinders packed to capacity with same in wall poster form. Ever so slightly excessive for a 1 plane/1 pilot operation. :ugh::ugh:

Money well spent AGAIN

Maybe we could apply for a dispensation to cancel march for ever. Mmmm... 31 spare days a year, just what we all need.

Message in a Stubby Cooler
 

I was handed the printed material on the Drugs and Alcohol testing by a CASA staff member at Avalon in a stubby cooler – the printed material is in the bin the stubby cooler is still in service :ok:

Работать по-революционному!
 

I've got it!
The lack of March is a clever move by CASA on K.Rudd's behalf. By removing one month of the year, we all get one month's less pay but have to work far harder and longer to do our 1000 hours a year. In one single genuis move, Ruddy has saved our employers collective millions in wages, annual leave and super and you all get one less sick day a year. Yet by still allowing us to work up to 1000 hours per calendar year and having one month less to do it in, he (and CASA) has increased productivity while costing companies less, thus creating a far more efficient economic and sustainable model.
That, PPRuNers, is why March is missing!

:E :}

March is missing because the final draft was in the dunny to allow everyone to review it during a period of quiet time.

Then the paper ran out.

It's a pity the final product wasn't printed on a roll of soft two-ply. At least it would have been good for something.

Hey it keeps getting better....

After laughing hysterically at the errors already discussed, my daughter pointed out to me that in the 2010 calender;


SEPT 30th IS A THURS....SO IS THE 1st OCTOBER .....WTF

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE,


OCT 31st IS A SATURDAY AND NOVEMBER 1st IS A MONDAY

Where is my bloody sunday, I WANT MY SUNDAY:{
