From the Budget papers: 100 new CASA frontline staff
A friend sent me this today:
Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)
CASA will recruit about 100 extra frontline staff, through $89.9 million in new funding over four years, to be raised by an increase in the aviation fuel excise (from $0.02854 to $0.03556 per litre or a rise of 25 percent).[1] These additional safety specialists, analysts and airworthiness inspectors should allow CASA to expand surveillance activities and fulfil complex regulatory responsibilities. Initial recruitment has already been allocated $3.9 million for 2009–2010 in forward estimates.
With what I have read about the new CASR 135, there will be plenty of ex-industry people available for these new CASA jobs too. :(

Don't be such a cynic Frank. I expect that OLC will get 99 and the medical person will need to have a legal degree.:E
Edited for spelling.

I wonder whether this will speed up the regulatory reform process?
