A little more he said, she said, with a dose of 'but you said' on the side
Oh Skates;
"On Monday AOPA released measures that show quite emphatically that general aviation in Australia is on a downward curve. They did so after a challenge from CASA's Mark Skidmore to prove GA activity is on the wane. Challenge accepted ... and done! CASA has responed by stating that they agree with AOPA's position"
And there's your answer in relation to CAsA's true understanding of our aviation environment - Skid'Mark accepted the challenge. If the idiot actually understood GA he would've never accepted such a challenge in the first place because he would've known the IOS are correct. So instead the arrogant twerp accepts the challenge and is proven wrong, and pulls out the 'it's not all the fault of the regulations' trump card. As Kharon also mentions the collapse of GA cant be entirely blamed on the regulations. I agree with that because there are also some shonks out there and poor business minds. But for every 'issue' there is normally several causal factors. And the Regs are the greater percentage of the root cause of GA's demise, with other factors being contributors.
In fact I would say the Regs, combined with red tape and lousy bullying and incompetent Inspectors are also a large contributor towards GA shrinking.
Greedy airports, often the ones that have been sold off by the government and then bought by the investment sharks, also deserve a large portion of the blame for driving GA out to another region, or out of business altogether. But again, Government (as usual) is mostly to blame for this.
Skid'Mark can pout and sook all he wants, and because he is a military man he is used to having robots agree with whatever he says. But the IOS are a different breed and aren't his indoctrinated Stockholm aligned brainwashed lackeys. When Skid'Mark shouts out 'jump' the Gobbledock says 'go f#ck yourself'!
No Mark, you are wrong. GA is buggered and the regulations, the Authority and Government are predominately to blame. But you wouldn't know that sitting on Level 3 The Circuit, then sitting in the Chairmans Lounge flying to Can'tberra. Crawl out from under your rock you giant piece of doody and start listening to what the external organisations have been telling you, mate.
TICK TOCK
