"business as usual, nothing will change..."
Yes P2 nothing will change.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Some would therefore suggest CAsA is insane.
I would suggest they are far from insane because they act in their interest and their interest is far removed from industries expectations.
CAsA don't give a twopenny toss about the industry. The industry is just a convenient conduit for their make work public enterprise, free from controls, checks and balances. Their formula is well proven and has worked very well in protecting their enterprise from any form of effective accountability. Simply waving the "safety" banner is enough to cower any political interference, a bit like holding up a crucifix to a vampire.
It is in their interest to keep the industry subjugated and suppressed. A vibrant, viable industry is far more capable of forcefully tempering their excesses, one simply has to look at the USA to see that in action
On the surface CAsA has proven to be a very inept manager of the regulatory process, tens of thousands of pages of regulations that have not achieved so called safety outcomes any better than the USA with under a thousand pages.
But are they really that incompetent?
Could it be that the "reformed" regulations written in such an ambiguous, convoluted, voluminous way were deliberately written that way? As a form of command and control, impossible to fully comply with therefore everyone would be at some point non compliant placing everyone involved in the industry under a Damoclean Sword to be raised or lowered as pleases.
The cost to industry is irrelevant, the contraction of participation in the industry because of it are irrelevant, the threat to safety because of it are irrelevant. The massive squandering of taxpayers money is irrelevant.
The only thing of relevance to CAsA is maintaining the status quo, which explains why CAsA views the industry as a threat and continues a never ending war with it.
