Round and round and round she goes.
Too true; buggered up my calculations 'good and proper', that has. However, that said, it still leaves some very interesting betting 'opportunities'; for instance turning words into deeds. Lets assume (ass u me) for the sake of argument that Heff has banged some heads and the airport crew have decided to play the Heff Wrong'un with a straight bat. It's still a long march around the perimeter road; fill to remove, fences to tear down, repairs and improvements to be made and the sharks must be fed. All compromises to be made without adult supervision. Even IF the sharks can be satisfied and airports are returned to par; is there enough interest in the 'industry', or enough commercial appeal left to attract the huge investment sums required to rebuild the industry? No doubt Heff has straightened the road, but where will it lead us? – not far in the 90 short minutes allotted in estimates Thursday morning.
ATSB are on Wednesday evening at 1745 (ish) will the invisible man attend? This is another vexed question for the BRB (Sunday) BBQ. It seems Dolan still has the whip hand, even if slightly less visible; but the Pel-Air reinvestigation aside, I wonder if accident 'reports' will get the attention they deserve? That disgraceful 'thing' produced on the fatal Cessna accident for example; it completely avoids getting anywhere near tackling fully approved, home grown training techniques which are not only illegal, completely at odds with the AFM but provide a student mindset that it is OK to disregard certified technique and procedures. A whole 60 minutes allocated to ATSB, it would take a full day to discuss the abysmal reports produced. Perhaps if Fawcett or even Skidmore as pilots, read the proffered report they may see exactly where the problem lays. Little excuse for Fawcett – he has had a close encounter with the Norfolk report. It begs the question; will ATSB be allowed to continue producing this rubbish or will the invisible man step up to the crease, open his shoulders and have a swing, you'd think a Qantas pilot could at least see the value in following manufacturer certified procedures and asking CASA what the hell they were playing at – approving 'alternative' measures; which have killed an innocent student. Much to discuss on Sunday.
The CASA show starts at 1945 (ish) Wednesday evening. A whole 90 minutes allotted to listen to more reassuring promises of 'active' reform while flat out action to implement existing plans for Part 61 and CVD (to mention but two of the many) are full steam ahead. The McComic legacy embraced. At least ol' John boy let the world know he revelled in being a ty-rant, which was honest. But unless the Board weighs in hard and soon, the present school will continue to blindly promote and foster their own futures, without caring a fig for the consequences; with or without Terry running the GWM. Smoke and mirrors will, no doubt feature large at the BRB Sunday pre estimates BBQ.
ASA on centre stage for 90 minutes at 2130. If you were a Senator, where would you start? I mean FFS. We could start with a prayer of thanks to the ATCO who despite all odds, turn up every day and manage to keep aircraft separated. But what goes on above that level and beneath the Houston radar has to be one of the greatest travesties in Australian history. Perhaps the scant 90 minutes could be used to mount an appeal to Houston. "Oi, Angus, sort this bloody management shambles out – Please, for pities sake". Maybe the BRB can draft it, save a shed load of time.
Aye well, no doubt it'll be better entertainment than MKR or whatever other rubbish is on 'Telly', but advert free? Not a chance: the department boys will be out there, selling their souls, peddling shop soiled goods as only true snake oil salesmen can. The man at the back of the room won't even get a cup of parliamentary tea; let alone a fair shake. It's government agencies which have crippled this industry, perhaps it's time we demanded some compensation to help rebuild. Fat chance – right.
No matter, I'll mark up the tote board anyway – at least that is nearly honest.
Selah.
