Its like picking at a scab.

"Thank you and what's in store for 2022"
are you thanking us and the Australian Taxpayers for the fact that you and your cohorts have been drawing your hundreds of million in salaries while the industry has been going down the drain. While Industry people have lost their livelihoods, businesses, homes and left destitute, is Ms Spence saying in reality, "We are all right Jack, stuff you".
Very insensitive Ms Spence, but we hope you and your cohorts have a very merry Christmas on US, but please keep in mind there are many hard working people in industry who would be perfectly happy to earn what you pay in tax. To be frank we hope you choke on it.
Quote:
"CASA has quietly begun working on a wide range of reforms that will benefit many people and organisations across the aviation community, particularly in the general aviation sector."
Can Ms Spence PLEASE EXPLAIN anything that CAsA has done in the past thirty years that has benefited anyone in the general aviation community, anything, anything at all? In truth nothing, zip, nada. But in that time CAsA has grown exponentially.
Even worse, can Ms Spence PLEASE EXPLAIN anything CAsA has done in the past thirty years that has improved SAFETY, their prime directive, other than so reduce participation that the loose marbles guy can crow "Yes minister, the number of accidents have declined as a result of our world leading regulation"
Quote:
"CASA did as much as we could to ease regulatory burdens through a special package of measures and I hope this did indeed help many people. We'll continue to review and adjust as we have been and as issues arise."
Ms Spence with due respect, your prime directive is Safety, at any cost. If you magnanimously eased burdens, are you admitting you deliberately reduced safety? If not, then why were these "burdens" there in the first place?
Quote:
"Despite the challenges posed by COVID we have all continued our strong commitment to maintaining safety. Everyone in aviation should feel proud that we've continued to operate safely. This is aviation at its best - responding to a fresh challenge, identifying risks and professionally managing those risks for the best possible safety outcomes."
This is perhaps the most insulting statement ever made by any Mandarin. Ms Spence are you suggesting that the aviation community is NOT committed to safety? Feel Proud???, Madam you are an idiot. Aviation is and will remain the safest form of transport, NOT because of anything you or the halfwits you employ do, but because by and large the Industry manages safety everyday very efficiently, its in their interests, nobody wants an accident, find someone to explain to you why that is so. Hint: its bad for business, ie reputation, ie earning money, ie staying in business. Consider Quaintass, the safest airline in the world, I would say the luckiest airline in the world, but they make tremendous efforts to maintain that image. Incidentally madam, just how much "expertise" you employ to oversee Quaintass" is there anyone in your organisation that could question anything they do? Do they have sufficient political influence and a robust legal department and funds where you wouldn't dare endeavour to oversee them? They don't bother you, you don't bother them, they do their thing, without interference, economy of scale ensures they don't object too much to your corporations impositions, a few bucks on the ticket price to cover your bullshit regulatory impositions is neither here nor there. Not so the general aviation industry.

"Many of the significant safety improvements to come from these new regulations are still ahead of us - whether it's checking and training or safety management systems. While we have deferred the requirements for these, they are the things that will make a difference to our safety record and to safety culture. Please consider transitioning to those earlier if you can, being mindful of the safety benefits that they bring. I also want to assure you that these reforms signal the start of continuing efforts by CASA to reduce unnecessary industry burdens while improving safety If any issues arise, I encourage you to reach out to us to discuss."
Can you actually annunciate what safety improvements these new regulations will generate? If they don't, what do you do then?
Can you annunciate and quantify exactly what difference to our safety and safety culture your abysmal new regulations will bring to our abysmal safety record or to our already robust safety culture,(Robust because of industry, nothing you or your cohorts do), other than cost the industry considerable financial penalties with no improvement in your prime directive "Safety"
Quote:
"As we look ahead to 2022, there are reforms in train..."
With due respect there have been reforms in train for over thirty years, what improvements in Safety can you clearly annunciate?
Quote:
Key initiatives include:
"Reducing maintenance costs for industry: to support private and aerial work operators we are considering the mandatory applicability of the Cessna SIDs program, introducing new general aviation maintenance regulations and considering new rules for aircraft maintenance
Supporting flight training: we are looking at how we expand privileges for some flight instructors to improve flight testing, revisiting how we administer the Flight Examiner Rating, and looking at how we can work with industry to prioritise other initiatives
Supporting regional and remote areas: we are looking at ways to improve access to training and reviewing the fatigue rules for aerial application operators
Encouraging growth of the sector: we are considering a new small aircraft maintenance licence to address training limitations impacting the GA sector, putting in place a weight increase for aircraft administered by Recreation Aviation Australia, reviewing the associated stall speed and reviewing aviation medical standards for private operations (including a potential 'self-declared' medical)."
Nearly all these issues have been directly caused by CAsA, now they are suggesting they fix what they have caused by imposing even more regulations?
What did Einstein say was the definition of insanity?
"To continue to do the same thing in the hope of a different result"
Of course there is a very simple answer to all this angst. Simple, easy, quick and logical.
We either continue to squander the resources of the Australian taxpayers to achieve absolutely nothing.
Or we adopt the most proven and safest system in the world, the US FAR's.
