AVID but no ASIC
Ok I'm getting confused.
After submitting my form for the AVID with a police check for an ASIC, I received my AVID 6 months later. Now I am yet to receive my ASIC but a lad at the Club was trying to tell me that as I got a new AVID with the check, that means I will not get one. Is this true?
Thanks all.

Rang Qantas today to enquire about picking up my ASIC. Guy on the phone told me that as of about 2 weeks ago, a heap were sent back to CASA to be printed up. Rang CASA and after a bit of a search the more than helpful lady said that it was in a pile with heaps others that were being sent out via registered mail today or tomorrow.
So let's hope that by next week i'll get it!

I went to their fancy website and submitted their fancy form that was supposed to tell me when my ASIC and Photo Licence was coming...
Well they got back to me in a couple of days telling me the app had been sent to Qantas to get printed on the 6th of March. Been printing close to twenty days and twenty nights, so i'm expecting a pretty schmick end product when it arrives
- Who've they got, Michaelangelo painting the thing?
Point of confusion - unrelated to my licence, I need an ASIC for a new job I've taken at SYD airport (unrelated to my flying) - do I get two ASICs, or do I have to wait until my flying one comes through? Cos I dont think the company can wait that long
Well anyway, I'm sure they're doing the best they can. The two times I've previously had to apply for ASICs I've received them within the week. Is everyone applying for non pilot ASICs in Australian airports subject to this delay, or do they process pilot ASICs in a seperate pile?

Submitted forms in October, sent the email a couple of weeks ago, no answer.
Rang 131757 yesterday, initially got a bloke who could tell me it wasn't ready but not much else. Put me on to the supervisor, she made some enquiries - not ready to be sent with the heap of them that are going out 'as we speak', so I think very unlikely I'll have mine by the 31st.
She was very helpful, but when asked 'If I don't get it by the due date, is there provision for more extension?' the answer was a definite no.
That's the bit that's really annoying me - I did all the right things, but won't be able to work without breaking the law if it doesn't get here in time.
Not such a drama for me as a part-timer, but the principle is wrong - if the system can't produce results for those who have followed its own procedures correctly, then surely it's obliged to make allowances for them.

Without trying to rub it in...
I sent me papers to CASA in mid january THIS YEAR (after the due date), and im very surprised to say that Qantas has printed it and is just waiting to be sent back to me after being cleared by the departments.
Kinda shocking seeing as you guys who sent it in earlier are getting no answers.

Makes you wonder just how they do decide which ones to prioritise. Maybe they just have them all in big pile and then take it in turns to pick out 'today's lucky winner'. Or ,maybe some of us are just having a really bad security check....
Either way time is getting really short for the next announcement of an extension..... They really should say SOMETHING to those of us who have paid and been waiting 6 months and only got a 'Yep, we got your forms and your money, dont worry, this is what is happening' letter back in January!
Then again perhaps their security checks and and intelligence are much better than appears (this incompetence is all just a big smoke screen!) and they've found out where those of us who bagged them on pprune live and so now we're right at the back of the queue. (Yeah, you're right, I've run out of any kind of rational reasoning for this.)

extension after 31st March
Working from one of our much loved ' secured aerdromes ' , we had an unofficial visit from an airport representative this week saying there would be no extension to the 31st March deadline, however DOTARS will conveniently turn a blind eye to anyone not displaying an ASIC until sometime in the near future....

The Channel 7 'Sunrise' show today with David Kosh despatching off volunteers in a QF aircraft from Brissy airport northbound to help with cyclone Larry relief.
There was Kosh on the tarmac but no sign of an ASIC card.
Does this again confirm that there is one set of rules for some and a different set of rules for others?
Perhaps Brissy airport management could reply.
