Embuggerance – in a nutshell.
Buckley – “The "crushing" that CASA will bring to bear on me, has already been done.”
GB is, unfortunately, tail end Charlie in a long line of those CASA have ‘crushed’ – or attempted to crush, on very slim (anorexic) ‘evidence’ on SFA of legal certainty. There are some who survived ‘the crush’ but they patter about the place, easily spotted – heads down, mouths closed and without any boat rocking equipment. There are others, known through CASA not so subtle hints, as ‘untouchable’. Presenting a serious CASA threat to any operator who dares hire ‘em. As no one will bet a business on CASA audit and delayed approval, this practice is accepted. Its real, its out there; and, fear of retribution serves to aid and abet the CASA manufactured ‘safety’ case against any who defy the whispered, implied threat. Evidence ? They howl. Sure thing, make it a plank in the next inquiry, offer some protection and watch as the real facts pour in.
Buckley – “Or, this not getting the industry support that it should.”
There lays the greatest abomination of all. Its not that industry ‘don’t give a continental’ ; more like they either don’t fully understand the deeper implications of what Buckley faces; or, they know full well that open support will bring a surety of retribution. Fact.
Some of the unheard cases would seriously ‘knock your socks off’. Some of the on going embuggerance would turn the guts of a honest man. Fact.
The lack of governmental interest in examining how CASA run aviation in this country is a national disgrace. I vote for ‘Embuggerance’ to be a line in the terms of ‘reverence’ should there ever be an open, honest inquiry into ‘matters aeronautical’. Followed by ‘value of safety return for money spent’. Ayup, us old farts can still dream.
