“2016 GA Reform Year Action time.”
Real reform is essential and demanded, across the board. Even the big outfits have had enough and the bottom line, although healthy, could look a lot better with the removal of impost and encumbrance.
But I had to smile when I read the P2 post – HERE - CASA advertising for new blood. It’s a strange situation. I could find, today at least half a dozen, first class fellahin who could, and probably would make a great deal difference for the better. They are the type CASA need to employ – but: and it is a very big but, would they go to work in an environment where any form of reform is being actively rejected outright or stone walled? Course not.
The irony of it is that many of the best have had serious run ins with ‘the authority’ or, too many close encounters of the unpleasant kind and would not contemplate applying – until the regulator shows signs of changing it’s manners, behaviour pattern and approach to what they believe enhances ‘safety’.
Can you imagine the dust up if someone who actually knew and understood what a check and training system was supposed to do was brought into the Part 61 ‘tiger team’? The notion of even being a ‘tiger team’ player is enough to make even the hardiest of guts rebel.
Mr. Turnbull’s reformation may be embraced by real servants of the public and honest folk – but it’s a long way away from touching the borders of Sleepy Hollow. Quite the puzzle for someone; need the crew to make the changes, need a leader who can earn their respect and an atmosphere that is breathable. No, CASA will simply hire the same cardboard cut-outs – replacing idiot for idiot; thief with thief and under achiever with another equally as useless.
We get to sit and watch the whole charade unfold, once again and have the pleasure of paying for it all.
Einstein – was right.
Safe insanity for all.
