We are from CASA and we are here to "help"

I'm the Chief Pilot and Business Owner of an AOC that was recently involved in an Accident. I would rate myself a very vocal critic of CASA. Not the individuals within CASA, but of the CASA created situation the Industry is now in. I retract nothing I have said or written previously.

As with every time CASA walks into the Building of any AOC holder, they could most likely create a "situation" that could make an interruption to Business imminent. That "situation" could potentially be triggered from almost any level within that Organisation, and could stick for some time if required. Especially, after an Accident of an AOC holder that can be a tad "difficult".

It was the first time I have experienced one of these "engagements" and will be working hard to make it my last!

How did it go? EXACTLY, as I would have expected it to go, when dealing with the Regulator that is "banging heads" with me.

It worked as it should. Fortunately I don't have a past experience to compare it with so I cant say if it is better or worse. I can say, I do have a higher expectation of CASA now than in the past and they met it.

CASA chose, to miss their opportunity to "nail me". I reiterate I stand 100% behind every other public comment I have made, but they say Trust is earned. For the first time in years, I actually feel it is within reach.

Some excellent CASA generated products to support Schools were released in the last couple of days. Maybe all the fertiliser that has been dumped, and a good Groundsman is actually resulting in fresh growth. Lets pray and hope for a good season.

Your comments are a refreshing surprise and for the sake of GA hope it is a changed approach for the better.

As one who has been victimised and had my career ended thanks to those "bumbling clowns" in "the sheltered workshop", I will never forget or forgive.

dogct...Me either. In spades

That in a so called democracy a federal agency can be such an immoral, hide-bound, corrupted flustercluck, and a gigantic con re "safety" boggles the imagination.

For those that havent been pineappled yet...count yr lucky stars.

We'll need more than a few prayers to see positive, progressive, common sense changes to turn GA around.

I am dealing with RMS in another cpacity at the moment.

Their design for a road which will (negatively) impact our town is fixed, rigid, immoveable.

Their justification is the Federal Road Corridor Guidelines - a set of criteria that will deliver a road whih will save 2 minutes between Sydney and Brisbane, but will be a daily embuggerance to every resident of our town and a major road safety hazard -not to those driving Sydney to Tamworth or Brisbane but to the 5,500 residents of our town who will interact with it two or more times daily.

The Public "Servants" are in fact the rulers of our nation.

Seriously thinking about moving to California.
