It's a civil service tradition to appoint people who know nothing of the bisiness to senior posts.................after all some one who had a good knowlage of the business would show how bad the rest of them were!
What I don't understand is why we have to have all these highly paid prople to run what is now just the London office of EASA?

You only need to look at the documents published by the various CAA departments on SMS to realise that they don't communicate internally. One set of SMS documents should be capable of covering Flight Ops, Aerodromes, ATS etc. Too many empire builders who are more concerned about the EASA invasion than talking to each other!

A recent classic was the two offices, one requiring imported US aircraft to have their ELTs removed, and the second having the ANO amended to require ELT carriage over water (sod the pilot, we want to recover the aircraft for the AAIB).
I realise the low population density (referring to the quantity of employees, not their IQ) inhibits effective communication in the hanging gardens of Gatwick, but don't they even talk to each other in the extended coffee breaks?
