Of dispensations, mates rates, 1930's systems and impact statements.....
Folks I watched Dicks performance live via streaming yesterday and it was magnificent. Well done that man!! Now I had trouble accessing the links to it again tonight on AuntyPru, so if you have any issues you can go directly to Poohtube and find it all uploaded there as well.
Dick raised many any valid points, most we will discuss over the coming weeks, but some salient points he highlighted were;
- The tail is wagging the dog. CAsA is pussy whipped by ASA and is powerless to stop it.
- OneSky is a ridiculous waste of money and ultimately it is a giant lemon under the current air service system.
- Dick highlighted how ex RAAF mentality is running CAsA and ASA to the detriment of the country and as a result is keeping us in the dark ages.
- Dick highlights the hypocrisy of how ASA have given dispensations to RAAF aircraft not to be fitted out with ADSB due to the onerous costs yet small operators are being forced out of business, going broke or mortgaging houses to pay for equipment upgrades to their aircraft to comply with the need to have a piece of equipment that adds no tangible benefits!!
- Impact statement. Dick highlighted how the report is complete bollocks and is stacked in a way that shows only benefits to users. The report doesn't highlight that GA is being driven into extinction and that the costs associated with ADSB compliance and increased costs due to OneSky charges is quite simply belting our GA sector out of the ball park.
My overall impression is that Dick did a brilliant job and is absolutely one of the best hands-on Ambassadors to Australian aviation that we have seen in decades. It is so so obvious that people like Skid-Mark, Houston, Pumpkin Head and others are completely out of touch, disconnected and disengaged from the real world. As a result of that they are contributing, perhaps by default, to the complete destruction of GA, the strangling of operators by way of regulation overload and the financial raping of businesses in fees, charges, applications, compliance costs etc etc.
How much longer til the bubble completely bursts? Tick tock
