Axe falls at CASA
The word about late today (Friday) is that at least two Senior Managers have been shown the door. Looks like there is some movement in the camp.
:D:D |
Translation of the "axe falls":
"A six or seven figure severance package was agreed on terms that included a promise from CASA to make a statement to the effect that the departing executive made an outstanding contribution to aviation safety in Australia and internationally, blah blah blah, cliche cliche etc etc..." |
I don't mind if the reason given is: "They want to spend more time with their families." If the people blocking regulatory reform are paid a motza to leave, then that is money well spent.
|
Oh yes (yawn).
The phrase "Sacrificial Lambs" somehow comes to mind. Then again, perhaps I'm being too cruel - Were they due to retire anyway? Either way, we can count on robust statements from the Minister on how we're "moving forward", etc. |

I hope they wisely invest their generous severance payout in learning to fly. They might then, finally, understand why the industry cannot abide by their activities. As well, I might finally be able to exact a price commensurate with the sum of my 53 years of frustrations with the regulator! happy days,

Its the wrong level to feel the axe.

Folks,
At least one of them was/is a pilot, obviously didn't make much difference. Being a pilot doesn't preclude you being an overbearing incompetent bureaucrat with attitude. I would be more interested in the talk of an "Aviation Task Force" being formed in the Department of Infrastructure, with a couple of serious heavyweights already tagged for the exercise. I hope, against all reason and experience, that it is not just another "Yes, Minister" exercise. Tootle pip!! |
I wonder if they received
notice by fax at quarter to 5.... |
do tell :)
one isn't a certain ex sandpit person by any chance? |
Please no, not another aviation task force. Could anyone be that stupid any more?
Perhaps it could also deal with the very fast train, the second Sydney airport, same sex marriage, aboriginal deaths in custody, the republic, constitutional recognition of aboriginal Australians, negative gearing, superannuation taxation, aboriginal disadvantage, homelessness, housing affordability, the ageing population, the deficit and every other issue that the stultifying mediocrities that have presumed the title 'government' over the last couple of decades feign interest in during the lead up to every election. Oh - and get it to cure cancer too. |
Task Force !
If the said Task Force does exist or is being formed we will, of course, be interested in its terms of reference. Rumour to date is it will be looking at the regulator. If so that may well be a good thing. Just depends how long they might take to deliberate?
I would suggest that all the answers are already on the table, just needs a leader or minister with the guts to make a decision or two. |
Just depends how long they might take to deliberate? Anyone who's been around the industry for a while and believes a 'task force' will change thing one in substance is a fool, and probably the worst kind of fool: an old one. I wonder when Dick and Ben get their invitations ... |
Usually in these "reorganisations" the good people get the axe first, or they resign first. The incompetents normally stay to the bitter end, having no where to go and fearful of competent people who can find them out.
Does anyone know the reputations of those who "left"? Are they, collectively, a loss to the aviation community? |

Re "is that at least two Senior Managers have been shown the door"
Seeing that these people are paid from the industry 'public purse', why then are the names / positions not immediately available?? It IS 'our money' after all...... No cheers, NOPE, none at all.....:ugh::} |
Its the wrong level to feel the axe. |
