Review of the season, I thought it was spring time but it's snowing.
Can'tberra's snow making machine on overdrive and overtime?
Hoping that AOPA will reconsider its welcome to review and that TAAAF makes it clear that reforms must start now and that all the reviews have been done to death already.
It truly is a disgrace that the Minister is supposedly not fully briefed on the state of aviation in this country. What a perfect illustration of irresponsible incompetence, millions and millions draining out continuously and they pretend they don't know what's happened. Thousands fewer jobs, crippling rents on publicly owned but leased airports with no proper oversight of lease provisions. Pilot numbers down the drain, much by AVMED out of control. Maintenance personnel numbers and experience sinking, Forsyth reforms still outstanding. The GA fleet has lost about one third of its value and good used aircraft are being exported. We are bargain basement, yes partly due to the low dollar but our loss of value is critical to the trade.
Mr. Carmody's defense is that the aviation industry isn't perfect either. What an outstanding thought. For my money on the standard of CASA the industry has Saint like purity. It produces services, it works long hours and is economical as befits reality and business. It would continue and grow well if CASA and its rule book of criminality were to disappear tomorrow.
