One would hope the ALAEA first approached REX about the concerns. |
Grounding REX is certainly not the answer. Holding those responsible for creating the culture that has led to this, is. |

Behind a paywall.
A 17-page document filed by the Australian Licenced Aircraft Engineers Association to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority alleges a “culture of fear” within Regional Express (REX), claiming management is intimidating maintenance crews out of reporting defects. https://thewest.com.au/news/nsw/call...d6f907c45e9efb |
Holding those responsible for creating the culture that has led to this, is. There are a few other maintenance operations that need a good look at for exactly the same culture, but will CASA take any reports seriously?? I doubt it. |
EBA time, or just now the Federal elections are over??
Aeroplanes that old, if you can't find some corrosion, all that proves is you haven't looked hard enough. Tootle pip!! PS: If something is serious, as opposed to just bitching, CASA prefer you don't put it in writing, written evidence is so inconvenient. |
Does everyone forget that REX Group donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Nationals every year... and their Chairman is ex Nationals Deputy PM John Sharpe?
Has everyone forgotten that the only "fallout" within the REX Group management from the PelAir Westwind debacle (with similar whiff of managerial/cultural pressure) was that Wicko walked into a job at CASA? The allegations made of management pressure are entirely consistent with everything we have seen before in the REX Group. Has anyone here ever been in a Management meeting with Lim Kim Hai? |
Nothing will come of it. Sharpe will simply tell Carmody to bury it , just like he did with the PELAIR incident, when SC was deputy director of CASA. Where Sharpe agreed to give CASA a scapegoat in the form of a pilot, this time it will be an engineer |

Friends in high places usually means avoiding the Tiger treatment. |
So worst case scenario what will happen..will the entire REX fleet of Saab's be grounded?
I have family who live in Carnarvon (CVQ) and I was looking at the facebook page called "Carnarvon Notice Board" and someone posted the article about REX (REX flies to CVQ) and now Carnarvon residents will be or are already in a panic with some (I read the comments) people wanting to cancel their airfares. |

The plot thickens?

Wow, now the accusations are being slung at CASA. Where’s my popcorn? |
Can you elaborate on that Pete? Are you suggesting that CASA have no knowledge of certain maintenance practices? |
Huh? Read the Rex press release Gordon. From what I can tell, they appear to be blaming CASA for the leak to the media. |
Didn’t read that Pete, I thought you were referring to my post (#7). I do blame CASA for the rapidly declining maintenance standards though, they are aware of it and they fail to act. |
The vexing question is, was the corrosion that was found on the propeller (as referenced in the article) reported? If it was, then CASA must have known about it. If not, then the reasons for it not being written up must be the focus here. |

Speaking to engineers yesterday. Although there's always a worry about management (which I believe is in every company), in this case it's an employee who lost their privileges due to negligence and is wanting revenge. In terms of prop corrosion the engineering department as a whole has much more restrictive parameters than that set by GE post prop loss incident.

Then there shouldn’t be a problem? |

Pretty disappointed to see Ben Morgan being interviewed on tv over this. I’m not sure what roll AOPA has in possible maintenance issues with a regional airline, but Ild assume its nothing. Whichever way it falls the last thing anyone needs is running commentary from uninvolved people. |

They named the person in the press release, first time round. Seems they have since (wisely) removed it.

Folks,
I note, from the REX press release, the statement that the leaks were coming from within CASA ---- despite the formal letter from CASA to REX. Where have I (we) seen this before --- how to generate a CASA intervention? I watch with interest. Tootle pip!! PS: Good on you, Ben. |

V1 - not sure if you’re intention is to spruik for Rupert, but that’s where your post landed.
Given that many, including myself, would never knowingly give his biased, toxic empire a single cent, in future please consider paywalls |
The company largely appears to be on the defence here. Tiger did the same. The regulator was tipped off, the pommy management said you have all lost the plot, nothing to see here. I’ll never forget when they then threatened CASA with court action over the temporary cancellation of the AOC. They claimed exactly as REX has above, we are high standard law abiding citizens. There was so many problems inside I think I nearly fell over when I heard this....as CASA saw when they opened the books. |
How eerily similar this is to our friends at the worlds safest airline poppa jo. |
So do people think that there really is a problem in terms of safety with their fleet?
I know people who are in a panic and are not keen to fly REX anymore. |
