Room to Let.
But Regional Airlines Association of Australia chief executive Mike Higgins said former ¬pilots were “the wrong stuff” for the role.
“I have been in aviation all my life,’’ he said.
“I worked at CASA for nine years. We do not need another commercial airline pilot. What we need is someone who has experience in managing a large organisation, preferably in the public service, and preferably as a regulator.
“Aviation skills and qualifications are not mandatory because (the CEO) should be surrounded by experts who have that subject matter expertise.”
Chalk and Cheese (without the holes). The beauty of that short, succinct statement is the ‘credibility’ behind it; the supporting fact. There are some, creating havoc, ruffling feathers and getting slung out of buildings who could take a page from the ‘Higgins’ little book of how to influence and guide change.
Change is a needed. Acknowledged commodity. Everyone knows it. But the TAAF. RAAA and AAAA seems to understand ‘the game’. Screaming invective and poking a finger into the chest of those who actually have the power to effect the changes, to me at least, seems counter productive. It is ‘passing strange’, to me, that, for instance, a shrewd, successful business person should surround himself with what can only be described as ‘shamateurs’ in trying to achieve a win. To win, one must first know and understand the game, then have the skills, crew and experience to at least make a fist of the game and earn some respect.
Reform, real reform, is a high stakes game; top table, Senate, Reps, minister, PMC, DoIT, CASA, ATSB, to mention but a few. All have ‘a position’; and, lots of skin in the game. I like, very much the Higgins/Davis/Hurst/Cannane ‘style’ and leadership; it may be fully supported. No one man bands – just rock solid determination to get the tangle sorted; without frightening the horses.
Aunty Pru does her job; only a small part to play – that much at least, always,no matter what. However, bad manners and self aggrandising foolishness, way outside the limits of good manners, decency and common sense; which ‘rocks’ a delicately balanced boat and endangers all, now that changes the ambivalence quotient.
There are some players in this great game who are simply not ‘professional’. Any dog may bay at the moon; many have; noticed any changes up there recently? No -thought not.
Selah.
