Over on thorny's snippets thread TB himself links to the excellent, essential reading Clinton McKenzie submission to the CASA Medical certification standards DP:

With his usual wit and biting sarcasm our old mate Clinton McKenzie nails it with an Oh so apt definition of CAsA and its regulatory processes.

From Wikipedia:
 
Noble cause corruption is corruption caused by the adherence to a teleological ethical system, suggesting that people will use unethical or illegal means to attain desirable goals, a result which appears to benefit the greater good. Where traditional corruption is defined by personal gain, noble cause corruptions[sic] forms when someone is convinced of their righteousness, and will do anything within their powers to achieve the desired result. An example of noble cause corruption is police misconduct "committed in the name of good ends" or neglect of due process through “a moral commitment to make the world a safer place to live."

Conditions for such corruption usually occur where individuals feel no administrative accountability, lack morale and leadership, and lose faith in the criminal justice system. These conditions can be compounded by arrogance and weak supervision.

His submission to a CAsA inquiry (see link below) Excellent research, combined with his undeniable brilliant analysis provides us with just why things are so screwed up in the Australian aviation world. His submission should be required reading, not just for Industry participants, but all CAsA staff and politicians.
