A novel idea, disband CAsA and subcontract aviation oversight to the FAA.

Save the country a fortune, the industry might just survive and be safer as well.

The same FAA that allowed Boeing to self inspect the Max? That would be like turkey's voting for Christmas

This is why despite millions of dollars, the NBN is garbage, the vaccine roll out is a disgrace, they couldn't roll out a yoga mat and things like the disastrous 2016 census occur - some of these things the country used to be good at but no longer. Those who remained in many respects and prospered were those who clung on because they knew they couldn't get jobs elsewhere.


Not that it's the sort of thing they would do but can you imagine if the government of today tried to launch something like Medicare....... half the cards wouldn't work, the system would crash, Doctors wouldn't have advanced information about how it worked and they'd institute a robodebt scam to try and bully people who'd paid their bills out of money they don't owe.


well said AP-) Australia these days can be summed up in a few words.......a 3rd world nation with a 1st world corrupt facade!

Folks outside ‘the bubble’ will have understandable difficulty in understanding that a mere PSM speaks volumes of the government’s assessment of the value of Mr Carmody’s contribution. Public servants were awarded PSMs for not finding MH370, because of their untiring efforts in organising other people to look for it, unsuccessfully, at the taxpayer’s expense.

It’s the public service equivalent of a Tenderfoot Badge in Scouts.

Mr Carmody’s primary ‘value’ to the government was his shameless claim, or at least his willingness not to refute the assertion, that he ‘completed’ the aviation regulatory reform program.

Although the regulatory reform program has effectively been abandoned while leaving a self-licking ice cream of impenetrable complexity in its wake, governments can now say it’s been ‘completed’.

According to this year's Queen's honour list, real-estate agents are also getting gongs... self-licking ice-cream indeed.

PSM for Carmody. Please remove the P for Public. Us aviation Joe Publics ain’t had the service we need at all.
We just got a serve of more of the same.

An SSM would be more appropriate.

Ahhggg...Yrrrrkkkk. Another bucket please.

I just hope Mr Carmody had an ‘ear tuck’ operation before the award ceremony. Placing a ribbon medal over his head and having it not get caught up in his giant ears is an almost impossible feat. They would have had to have done a risk assessment first. You know, safety and all that stuff. Anyway, he still qualifies for the ‘Aviation Asshole 2020/21 Award’ so that will be another notch in his pathetic belt.

Been dealing with CAsA for many years.
It is more a dysfunctional mess now than I can remember with the lowest morale of staff (that I talk to).

The CASA culture.

The vast majority in CASA from my own personal experience are well intentioned and professional, and you can’t ask for much more than that.

No organisation will work if you can’t get the staff sharing the vision of the management.

Uniquely for CASA they have a problem where the current leadership will never get the staff to share the vision, because the staff are well intentioned and professional.

They choose not to share the vision, and that’s indicated in the staff survey

The main problem with CASA, or dare I say the root cause of CASA’s issues is Aleck. It’s been that way for 3 decades. The one constant feature through 30 years of issues, Aleck. Of course, the Government really don’t care, because if they did he would’ve been gone a long long time ago. When you see wankers like Carmody rewarded by the Queen for decades of incompetence you soon see that there is no hope in reforming the ‘R’egulator. When it comes to reform nobody cares. Nobody wants to. Nobody knows how to. Nobody will.

Who knows, maybe Aleck is of the same ilk as Scotty from Marketing and he is into faith healing and he actually believes his legal hands are miraculously reforming the ‘R’egulator? He certainly speaks in tongues, sprouting legal wankery and Rhode Island language at every opportunity. It’s all the same, absolute manure.

Here you go Para, https://www.casa.gov.au/news-article/join-casa-team

Great opportunity for you to get into Furzer St and revolutionise CASA.

Now how long will it take to get a response? 😀😀😀😀

Thanks for providing me with a link to something I have no interest in, Quack Pilot. Should I decide to come out of retirement and ask to join the CASA team and embark on a revitalisation program, I will be sure to ask you for advice on how to go about this.
