CAsA CAsA CAsA.... can we add AMS to the list of industry killers please?
Alhough our industry’s focus is on safety, and we are seeing in great clarity the evidence of ‘destruction by regulation’, I am puzzled as to why there is little being said about the other big ‘R’ Regulator - AMS (formerly OTS)? These idiots are also out of control and are making it harder to operate and gain airside access and run a business. The introduction of body scanners to regional airports is to be completed by December 2019. More ludicrous costs added to the industry by way of airports installing upgraded equipment, staff training, additional staff being required, more compliance obligations to meet more regulations and so the list goes on.
But wait, there is more. Now the AMS are warning industry that they will be introducing the stupid LAGs rule for Domestic airports including regionals! More SOP’s, more security pressure, more delays, more costs to a struggling industry.
I can’t wait to see the airlines counting up the security delays due to these unworkable regulations, particularly once oil hits $100 per barrel and half their fuel isn’t hedged. Every minute of delay time will cost the Rat and the struggling VA shitloads.
Of course, pen pushing bureaucrats living in their Can’tberra silo’s and bunkers in a fantasy world would never contemplate such a flow-down effect would they?
Effing world gone mad. Two Regulators shitting on our industry and our ability to feed our families or create a future for them.
Tick Tock
