OST at Estimates 05 May 2016 -

Expletives deleted (only just).

OST - We do not hold all the knowledge and we need to form safety partnerships across industry, agencies, regulators and the global aviation community.

OFCOL -This puling idiot beggars belief; is beyond sensible comment and most certainly beyond help.  If it were an animal you would put the poor thing out of it’s misery.  In one short sentence, he admits to having absolutely no idea what’s wrong, even less idea of how to fix it, runs a crew of incompetents who have not been able to provide him with the solutions he expected. News flash, they were never going to help you, dummy.

Now he wants to keep his job, expects industry to keep paying him and then expects ‘industry’ to help him fix it for – for free and to his personal glory.  BOLLOCKS to that; in the real world you get fired for incompetence; in the real world you get prosecuted for fraud; in the real world you are responsible for the lives you damage through your actions.  None of this for Oliver Skidmore Twist – he just feels entitled to ‘more’.  The breath-taking, complacent arrogance of it all.  

More proof if needed can be found in the crew he has retained from his ‘restructure’.  Every amateur, poseur, liar, cheat, charlatan and arse kisser retain their positions, yet even with his very own ‘tiger team’ he admits to not having a blind clue, even after almost two years of taking his money, entitlements, holidays etc.  Was he dumb enough to actually believe those who run Sleepy Hollow would just give him the right answers and support ‘his’ success story? Seems he was; the pinnacle of blind arrogance, rose coloured vision and a total disconnection from the real world.

A honourable man would resign; hang his head in shame.  A competent Board would fire him and a dozen like him.  If the minister will not support the Board then the Board should resign and make their reasons public, very public.  Industry needs to be rid of this incubus and all who sail in it.  

OST – “There must be an environment where we can all work together to enhance the safety of the aviation environment we enjoy today.”

Hah! There’s only a very select few enjoying that environment within the sheltered workshops of Sleepy Hollow.  Boyd and his Board need to be actively recruiting from industry; head hunting, the best and brightest for short term contract to replace the NZ team when they leave after putting a broom (a big one) through the place.

Enough – to bloody angry to frame a constructive response; I will, once I’ve cleared the piles of outraged emails which all reflect the one universal sentiment – i.e. Bugger off.  Whoever hired him needs to be fired and those who will tolerate this kind of waste and incompetence for another twelve month need to go with him.  Has the new minister got the balls or brain power to fire this pitiful, posturing, begging shamatuer?  No, then put him on the same bus.  

Toot – UFB – toot.... .... ....   Sorry GD - can I have that bucket when you're done; and find me a fat cat FOI - I've a great need to kick something, very hard indeed.

To follow on from the Ferryman post above, this evening Oliver Skidmore-twist briefly appeared at Estimates:

   
P2 comment - The tie says it all about just how out of touch with reality this WOFTAM of a DAS truly is - FFS!

Hansard is out and to kick it off here is a link for the CASA segment. 

Before we start reviewing the Skidmore bollocks in detail, I'd like to draw attention to who is missing/added to the usual CASA trough feeder attendees and note how the deckchair shuffling has changed some of the titles : 

Civil Aviation Safety Authority


Mr Mark Skidmore, Chief Executive Officer

Dr Jonathan Aleck, General Manager Legal Affairs, Regulatory Policy and International Strategy Branch - WTF? This confirms the rumour that Flying Fiend has been given the bullet. However apparently FF refused to resign & has subsequently accepted a position in the pencil sharpening cupboard.   
However I don't know what is worse having Anastasi GM of LSD or Dr Hoodoo. IMO JA is far more dangerous than AA and until he has left the building status quo will prevail. 

Mr Graeme Crawford, Aviation Group Manager - addition

Mr Rob Walker, Stakeholder Engagement Group Manager - new ex-ASA.

Ms Tracey Frey, Sustainability Group Manager - new? Must have got the nod over Cheryl Allman 

Mr Simon Frawley, Acting Chief Finance Officer
Mr Roger Weeks, Acting Executive Manager, Standards
Andrew Tiede, Acting Executive Manager, Airspace and Aerodrome Regulation
Mr Gerard Campbell, Executive Manager, Operations - parasite & resident OST chocolate starfish cleaner. 
Mr Craig Jordan, Acting Executive Manager, Industry Permissions

Hmm...besides Hoodoo Voodoo & the new DDAS Crawford it would seem that the NFI parasite and nasty sociopath Herr Campbell is the only one who may have a job after the Skidmore coup (sacrificial deckchair burning) reaches it's climax - FFS!
