1. McComicks letter of response is a major red flag - Why? Well Wickham, once joining CAsA, did not need to undertake any work on Pelair to receive any personal certification or training to help qualify him as a CAsA FOI. Due to a potential conflict of interest he could have undertaken personal training requirements elsewhere in Australia, or even overseas like many other FOI's do. I smell pooh here, and so do the Senators. It would be interesting to see the exact date Wickham commenced employment with CAsA and what date he participated in the Pelair assessment. I guarantee you it was not long after commencing employment at Fort Fumble.
2. The Pelair NCN acquittals by Wodger - The time frame of a mere few 'days' after Pelair responded is simply not logical, possible or in any way likely. Any operator response is sent to the field office, sorted, passed on to the lead auditor and then input is sort from the relevant technical Inspector from the audit team. If for example the finding was in DG's then the DG Inspector would review the response and advise the team leader/lead auditor that root cause had been accepted as well as the mitigation of the finding. Then a letter of acquittal is sent back to the operator. The fact that Wodger signed off after just a few days is absolute evidence of mates rates, a tick and flick, and an 'it's ok Minister, your mates have been protected'. It's utter bullshit. It takes CAsA months as a rule to respond to an operators NCN response. Perhaps the Senators can examine other similar occurrences with other airlines where NCN's have been issued by CAsA, operator responses provided back, then CAsA acquitting the NCN. Find one that has been done in just a few days and I will personally eat Wodgers ass!! It simply doesn't happen. Why Skidmore continues to keep Wodger on the books is beyond belief. I think Skidmore ought to update his internal risk matrix, you know the one that includes the 'risk of reputation damage to CAsA or the Minister' to include the risk of 'executive management or Inspectors acting fraudulently, corruptly or without due to care and damaging CASA's credibility as well as the governments'.
3. And I have mentioned this before - Captain Sentinel and His mates response to the QON regarding 'Wickhams whereabouts', is he here, is he there, where art though Wickham!!! Bullshit. They knew exactly where he was, if he was employed, not employed, taking a morning shit or combing his hair in the coffee shop across the road, they knew. When Fort Fumble is under the spotlight they make sure they have all their t's crossed. They knew where he was and what he was doing.
It's an amazing turn of events isn't it? NCN miracle sign off's, Pelair CP hired by CAsA after a prang, political donations, even current Miniscules posing for photos with a Pelair executive who himself is an ex Government minister for aviation matters!! But wait, CAsA just don't seem to be concerned by the airline in question, and nor does the ATSB!! But no, silly us, we are all conspiracy theorists, tendentious bloggers who see the glass as half empty, how dare we raise an eyebrow or two at this whole sorry saga. And what's more those silly Senators are just wasting their time poking around looking at a non-issue, looking into a matter that in itself is clear, transparent and open..........
No, nothing to see here folks, you're all making things up, it's a fiction of your imagination. Go home, watch some TV and relax.....
