Team NX really are connected with the 'people' aren't they? Nick gets it, no doubt about it. But he doesn't have enough firepower to really do what needs to be done, hence the required ongoing support from the industry. So I applaud him and also those pilots who supported his speech.

From Saint Nick;

"Although the positions earmarked to go are described as “back room” jobs, Senator Xenophon said pilots, engineers and Air Traffic Controllers had raised concerns with him".

Interesting how DDDDDarren calls it 'union scaremongering', yet Nick calls it 'serious safety concerns'. The proposition of an Inspector General is tangible, but a Junior Minister for Aviation such as the esteemed David Fawcett ticks all the boxes!

But in the meantime, in the lead up to the next Senate estimates, perhaps the Senators could ask ASA to provide a comprehensive list of each and every one of the 900 redundant positions, what that persons Position Description entailed (in full and transparent detail), and then perhaps give that information (with names redacted) to an independent external organisation (one that is not in the Governments back pocket) to conduct a comprehensive assessment of that component of 'accelerate'?

In reality the only thing I see 'accelerating' c/o Electric Blue and Sir Anus is an acceleration of the race to the bottom, an acceleration of the executives salaries and bonuses, an acceleration of the time taken to race to the trough, an acceleration of Halfwits dress sense from completely ludicrous to utter shit, and an acceleration of incoming PFOS lawsuits......and these knobs reckon they are 'match fit'? More like 'match shit'. Or should that be 'match lit' and ASA is in flames? Tick tock tossers.
