Thornbird, I thank you for your gentle rebuke at my failure to account for the loss of revenue to CASA in relation to loss of fees if my silly idea of independent instructors was actually implemented. Should have remembered the reason Glen Buckley was whacked.
I’d completely forgotten that the true business of CASA is to provide the most ego stimulating, comfortable, stressless, temperature controlled working conditions, RDOs and free wintertime jaunts to seminars in sunny Queensland or Montreal. I admit overlooking that for their unique attributes CASA executives are paid phenomenal salaries for their ingenious make work programs. Dreaming up new permissions, for which are charged swingeing fees, has become an art form of such elegance that one can’t help but admire how it’s all arranged legally, and how any deviant behaviour is savagely dealt with via the criminal code. Marvellous.
Quite apart from the two thirds destruction of General Aviation, their make work programs have given us an international reputation in the administration of aviation that’s second to none. So much so that the subject of Australia’s General Aviation will rarely be discussed in earshot of Aussie aviators, by, say, a group of USA, Canadian or New Zealand aviators. Why? too embarrassing, and impossible to muffle the gasps of incredulity and laughter.
Again, mea culpa, don’t mention the war, or the fact that Ms. Spence was paid $253,089 from 17th May 2021 to 30th June 2021. Six weeks.
