More part 61 delays?
 
I heard a rumour at work today that there may be more delays to the new regs.

Anyone else heard something similar?

This being a "rumour network" and all...

Delays? Surely you jest!

It has only taken twenty six years (this September) and $300 million plus to get this far in the Regulatory re-write.

Your expectations are totally unreasonable if you believe there should not be automatic delays in the implementation of any new Regulations.

After all it is only tax payers money, so what is the problem?

It's proceeding swimmingly well, dontcha think.
 
N.B. I have not, as yet been able to research or confirm the information. Below is an extract from an email which I thought was worth sharing. It is the opinion of one man, but the questions seem valid – considering. I just wonder when shirt sleeves are going to be rolled up and some real work done to reduce costs and get things back on track is going to happen. The only agenda being the well being of the aviation industry in Australia. FWIW:-


[As] an example of waste and mismanagement I copy to you from the CASA website part of the minutes of the last meeting of one of its subsidiary committees, held 26 March this year. As my Commonwealth representative I would appreciate your influence in government to ;

1.) question the budget allocation to CASA, and
2.) what was the cost to the public purse of this last meeting?
3.) the meeting closed at 12.15 pm. Did the government attendees return to complete a days work?

As you can see this so called "Safety Forum", held in Sydney, is very top heavy with expensive public servants, many if not most, no doubt from Canberra (over-night?) and a full reading of the minutes reveal that virtually nothing of a safety nature, let alone efficiency, will be accomplished via this forum.

What happened to the carefully crafted response by TailWheel that was here yesterday...? Did it get moderated ? :cool:

tail wheel 8th May 2014 02:43

I can recommend a good optometrist? :}

VH-XXX 8th May 2014 02:51

Ok it's back so now I know you were playing funny buggers :ok: I can assure you that it wasn't there this morning.

Tailwheel - such cynicism in one so young.


It's terrible to see.

Dehavillanddriver 8th May 2014 12:36

I just love the attitude of both the organisation and some of the FOI's when criticising operators when they are from an organisation that if it had its own AOC it would not be able to keep it.

Nothing like a little hypocrisy.

CASA
C&*^s against Safe Aviation


We have never been in such a dangerous position as what they have passed us all in now. The system we had will not prefect was useable and could have been fixd but oh no we had to have something different that's still different to everyone else.
