In regard to P2 about the leadership of CASA I'm afraid that Mr. Skidmore will not resign, nor will he be asked to resign. Therefore the main question is how might we IOS (thank you for the explanation and anything we write might eventually be more useful to a wider audience (MPs?) if there be a handy glossary of the myriad obscure abbreviations many of which I personally struggle with otherwise to hell with the bytes just put the whole sorry lengthy nomenclature out there) generate sufficient interest of the Parliament to fuel some real reform?
The single best hope of real reform is from our MPs. Expecting Mr. Skidmore to make momentous reform all by himself, overturning all the internal advice from a highly experienced and determined cohort of CASA management, without explicit direction from his boss, is not realistic. Therefore Minister Truss is the key. The National Party and the Coalition can make the key turn if they see advantage.
Finally, the term Director of Air Safety is risible, I see this exalted being on high, cloud nine? ..conducting the air currents from his airy eyrie. So much nonsense, he is the CEO. This word play is part of the foolery and we all have been guilty to some extent, never questioning the real efficacy, necessity or rationale of the Aviation Medical, or Log Book entries and other markers that unconsciously we accepted because that's all we knew and too busy to worry. Good for the ego too, well now we did not scream and Canberra has us by the throat.
