A thought whilst doing nothing for 10-15 mins.
Heard a rumour that JMAC was at a conference no too long ago and was ripped into by a few individuals for various reasons over drinks who all had various agendas/problems with CASA.
The reply they ALL, to their surprise , (if you believe what you hear), got was "here's my card, call me next week, come to Canberra if you can or call me, and lets make this issue work/go away/get resolved",I believe you are possibly correct
Anybody take him up on it?
Just a thought.

Don't bother phoning him as your number will probably be traced, analysed and logged in an IOS data base. Better off calling him and blowing an air horn down the line! Would love to be a fly on the wall at 0100 when that occurred. He would be somewhat testy about the entire episode 
Would be even funnier if his number ended up scrawled on the walls of all the Newfarm park ****ters!

Friday arvo and all that.
GA <funny you should bring that little episode up>.. Not quite the way I heard it; you are no doubt familiar with the old saw about how Swedish girls hold their liquor (by the ears). My source reports that a certain party forgot to hold onto the proverbial 'ears' and bollocked a visiting 'dignitary' who has, by all accounts launched, accompanied by a legal type to visit certain members of a Parliament uttering blood curdling noises which may only be silenced by financial or operational concessions.
Hard to know what to believe these days, init? - but it's good yarn for the BRB to kick off with this arvo; now those gentlemen know how a liquor should be held. Should be a great meeting with lots of juicy rumour to provide the hilarity required.....

Got my letter today (25/10) - inviting me to an information session ............last Monday (21/10)!
I'm gonna get a new pilot's licence, apparently. That will be my fourth, or is it my fifth (?), different style of pilot's licence in the last 40 years.
As for the rest? Well I really don't know - it all makes my head hurt! I guess I will just go along to my friendly ATO (if such still exists) with aeroplane in hand and say, "Make me legal"!

French letter?

Hey John, you know what you can do with that letter old son.......
And all the current talk about a change of DAS, people climaxing over the appointment of Truss, it's all a smoke screen, all BS. Nothing will change, corruption and greed is the foundation of the CASA pyramid. Why not hire Joyce and Max 'more money in the bank' Wilting to run CASA, the quality, intellect and experience is about the same. Hell, bring back Toomey and maybe Shlong Sharp while you are at it.
Anyway, I am off to do some light maintenance on my plane before doing some circuits tomorrow. Catch me if you can Inspector Plod

The Aya Toller and the Screaming Skull could each have held their farewell parties in HKG in a phone booth.
Not because they couldn't fly an aeroplane but because no-one else wanted to be in close proximity to them for extended periods.
CASA should cease appointing ex-airline pilots with inflated egos. A crop-duster with some grease under his nails would be a far better choice IMHO.

casa anyone?? what is their obligation?? in this
Always wondered what the real cost of the cyber-exam system was - a Saturday afternoon and found this information:
Well about a Million a year - Wonder if Senator Nash can ask some further comments on this one - Another "Pete the Potplant" ??

I wonder if ASSESSMENT SERVICES PTY LTD is related by chance to Sky Sentinel, and then any person at CASA or their family members or former acquaintances? Maybe an ASIC check would reveal anything interesting? Just curious, nothing more. And do either company provide pot plant maintenance services also?

Ferryman ever the optimist!
Kharon post: Is the end of agony in sight? ...."When the NZ regs are brought in..."???
Love the optimism "K", maybe you know something the rest of us don't...
Got to agree with your comments though on NZ CAA vs FF CASR especially in regards to Part 61...79 pages vs 511: PART 61 NZ
PART 61 Fort Fumble
The Kiwis must be falling over backwards with laughter when their regs are contained within 500 pages and ours..well what is the last page count.
The rumour (if true) that we could have received a template of the Kiwis' regs for a cool mil makes it even more diabolically embarrassing!!
