Jeff Boyd and the Board are mentioned but unfortunately the Board is nowhere to be seen. Take for example the following quite from Mr. Skidmore's latest missive:-
"I have begun the process of renewing CASA through a major change program which will deliver more effective safety regulation and better regulatory services for all sectors of the Australian aviation community".
The Board of CASA has not communicated to the aviation community that it is in control of CASA.
From this one could be forgiven for deducing that Mr. Skidmore acts alone, not needing approval from anyone. It is looking like the Board has failed to assert it's responsibility to oversee the reforms that have been approved by government. This is an opportunity foregone. Had the Board been properly in control we could have expected some real reforms in place by now. On the face of it the new Board is qualified but without motivation and will power it might as well resign and save the taxpayer a few hundred thousand dollars.
Patches and platitudes on the surface, but situation normal in CASA, 830 @ average $139,000. Wonder if that figure includes the Board? Meanwhile General Aviation is sinking rapidly. Makes my blood boil.
