I wouldn't be too hard on Ms. Spence, nor would I contact the CASA Board and I think delaying AOPA is essential. Two words: "Back off".
Despite what anyone here thinks, Dr Aleck is an employee of CASA in good standing, entitled to the presumption of innocence, procedural fairness, equity and natural justice and for Ms. Spence to act otherwise and not respect his rights will land her and CASA in a world of hurt conceivably including his walking away with a few million while you get to explain your baseless and defamatory allegations to a judge.
There will be no lynching. Grow up.
As has been said many times: " The mills of Government grind exceedingly slow but they grind exceedingly fine." There is also an old British anglo-indian administration saying; "The file must talk".
IF, and it is a big IF, there is written evidence in the Buckley files held by CASA, that supports Glen Buckleys allegation that something material has been deliberately misrepresented by Dr. Aleck for illegal purposes, then, perhaps, Dr. Aleck MAY have a case to answer. That something would need to be clear and unequivocally deliberately untrue with a purpose to deceive. NOT a verbal brain fart at a Senate Inquiry or over a coffee somewhere. NOT hearsay as in "Dr Aleck told me to say....". NOT a crime of omission. NOT a bull session with the Ombudsman. NOT Hansard and NOT some handwritten note. And furthermore the something must be of a nature that cannot be attributed to misplaced zeal for "safety".
If its in the File Ms. Spence will see it, if its not, you are SOL. If its there, well, there is no greater PS crime than falsifying something in the file - making the file lie to a reader.
"But! But! But!" You say; "presumption of innocence, fairness, natural justice, equity! Those are all things that have been denied by Aleck to pilots, operators and engineers for decades!".
That may be true, but it doesn't matter. Ms. Spence will have to get up very early in the morning if she or anyone else is to penetrate that alleged layer of teflon and if she mishandles this matter then she will be the one leaving CASA, not Dr. Aleck, who might then become acting DAS. You didn't think about that did you?
All power and best wishes to the Ombudsman and Ms. Spence. Our prayers are with you.
P.S. Watch the Djokovic hearing if you want to see what a good QC can do to 'regulations".
