A whiter shade of pale.
Hitch – “Silence isn't always golden. I can think of at least two situations when it's a very deep shade of blue: when you're over tiger country and there's suddenly silence in the cockpit is one, and the other one is when you're waiting for Canberra to give the GA community some feedback on reforms.”
That ‘silence’ is down to a two party mutual agreement. There are levers being pulled, buttons being pushed and options being considered, ‘negotiations’. The deal goes something like this – “you call off your dogs and we will see what we can do to resolve ‘your’ problems”. Dead simple, no one is going to risk getting CASA off-side when an audit is due, or; an ‘approval’ is needed, or; an exemption is required, or; a new CP must be appointed or etc. Its a fairly wide selection of levers and buttons the CASA has to play with and once the ‘negotiations’ get rolling, nobody wants to disturb the goodwill being doled out as ‘privilege’ rather than a legal right.
Silence is only golden when it is purely voluntary; when a gun is held to your head and you get told to STFU – or else; you tend to sit very quietly indeed. Many of the Senators know this; those who do not, should ask the question – in camera – the answers will only surprise those of whom never dreamed such things happened. Alas, they always have and will continue, unless something gets done about it and soon.
"We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick". etc.
Toot toot.
