Another Establishment About To Close?
 

A certain helicopter operator is going to get the Friday afternoon fax pulling the AOC on Christmas Eve from what I've heard.

Deserved or not, timing this stuff to coincide with major holidays is an infantile lawyers game that should be beneath an alleged Government instrumentality.

Low life's perform low life acts!

Disconnect the fax friday morning?

It is actually a email these days.

But to keep with the very long tradition of the CASA Friday Arvo Fax!


We still call "that email" a fax out of respect for the dead.

Either way, what happens if you "didnt receive it until Tuesday"?

Generally Styx75, a lot of emails can have a "Receipt of Email" attached to it, basically they send it and the moment you open it it'll send another email back automatically acknowledging it has been opened. I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs of that sort of thing but from what I understand it's not hard to implement and I'm sure they probably would have something similar.

But regardless, it's exactly this sort of sneaky, underhanded BS that has completely destroyed any trust between CAsA and the Industry.

They did the same thing with Hardy's in Darwin four years ago. Must be in their SOP manual. :sad:

Any hints. Which operator?

Would be a real bugger if it ended up in the Junk Mail folder. :E

Megan, I thought Hardy's misinterpreted the letter and they stopped all operations when they didn't actually have to.

It was a little while ago and the memory is foggy.

"I thought Hardy's misinterpreted the letter and they stopped all operations when they didn't actually have to"

I believe this is wrong, but a incorrect report to the media from CASA. The senior person I knew at Hardy's with the letter on their desk had no misinterpretation as to grounded or not - if it were in fact true it would not have been sent after CASA closing hours = 4.22 pm

sending an email is legally the same as sending a letter...

Do you have a reference for this?

Yes.

Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (C'wealth) I believe?

This may also be relevant: https://www.casa.gov.au/standard-pag...ing-electronic

In Outlook it is possible to request a 'delivered' message, which means it is on their server or a 'read' message which has to be initiated by the recipient when they open it (and may not be initiated). However, it is also possible for a server to be rigged to not acknowledge any messages and to only send a "We do not acknowledge message being read" auto message, like our ever helpful Shire office!

Delivery receipts are not reliable as the user can send or choose not to send.

A service like "Read notify" would be better. Tells you when it was received, opened, from where and also those it was forwarded to.

I think you will find that having agreed or consented to receive electronic communications, when an email is sent to the email address you provided, the communication is considered delivered.

So who's in the sight hairs Sunny? Spill the beans!

Baseless thread without any facts, or is this just an excuse for another CASA bashing exercise?

Wait and see Ducky.

The clock is still ticking down.
Would not surprise me in the least if it actually comes true. Usual christmas present for someone in industry.
SOP:
3:59pm: Reach for the "send" button over the office partition with a broomstick from the waiting elevator?
