miniscule Dazzling Dazza: "Nothing to see here, move along!" - FDS  

Intro:

Safe troughs for all

So here is a very rough breakdown regarding the waste of taxpayer money on the pointless ICAO folly as follows in this very 'general' guesstimate;

Total of around 11 attendees (trough swillers) from Australia;

- Airfares are business class at around $11k each, = $110k
- 7 days accommodation at around $4k pp = $28k
- Meals, entertainment, vehicles and fiddles are approx $2k pp = $14k
- Salaries. Each attendee earns between $200k - $800k p/a. If you take a medium of $350k, divide that by 52 weeks they average around $6,730 per week. Times that by 11 = $74k

Total = $226,000 AUD for this farce.

Correct, a quarter of a million dollars for a group of drips to sit around for a week talking shit and achieving SFA. What a disgrace. What a waste of money. Why don't you stick em in the Formule One Motel in Nudgee Brisbane for a week and get them to use Skype or video conferencing?

Nope, just another opportunity for oxygen thieves and money burners to tickle their egos dribbling bollocks at a conference that achieves nothing but produce piss and wind with no tangible results or actual outcomes, and certainly adds no value to Australian aviation.

Listening to Dr Voodoo extoll his fantasies and giving his interpretation of law in his droning, monotone voice is as exciting as watching two turtles hump each other or watching Darren Chester comb his hair. Or is as useful as trying to paddle across the Pacific Ocean on a clump of dried out elephant shit!

The good, the bad and the ugly

Love those graphs. They really highlight Australia's past, present and future in brief, nauseating fashion.

Some interesting things that have occurred during that period of time in question; 2004 to 2016. A bit of the good, the bad and the ugly;

POSITIVES
• Kym Bills was high level ATsB
• Alan Stray was high level ATsB
• No stupid ass CAsA/ATsB MOU was in play
• Sangers and Walsh had less power
• Dr Voodoo had less power

NEGATIVES
• The era of McComick arrived
• The era of the Beaker arrived
• Lockhart clusterfu#k
• Pell air clusterfu#k
• The rise and rise of Pumpkin Head
• The rise of Dr Voodoo
• Possibly the worst agreement (MOU) in aviation history was formed between CAsA ad the ATsB.

In reality ICAO's approach is as follows;

2004: good audit. Minor snags, nothing systemic or intolerable. TICK. Good work lads, keep progressing forward.

2008: getting a bit messy now, this Lockhart thing raises a few red flags, numerous deficiencies, and an appearance that some wheels are starting to fall off.

2016: no sign of ICAO, but there is a hint of them in the wind. Australia has now completely slipped backward to the point that it is outshone by Indonesia, yes them of the Garuda and a multitude of other aircraft crash shame. Not to be left out, ASA also takes a huge backward step under Russell, Staib, Electric Blue and Sir An(g)us.
The ATsB implosion is complete and Beaker departs, CAsA undergoes supposed 'transformation' and it's short lived CEO gets punted. If ever a colonic hose was to be inserted into the Australian governments ass now is the right time.

The final oddity is that Wingnut Carmody, overlooked for DAS when Bwuce Bywon left and the Screaming Skull of CX Star Chamber fame turned up, is now sitting in the DAS chair, for now!

You know it's quite ironic that people like CAsA and the ATsB are always banging on about 'root cause'. I wonder what ICAO or FAA would put down the root cause of the complete implosion of Australia's alphabet soup agencies in the past 8 years to?

Dr Hoodoo Voodoo's world safety tour continues.......IATA Safety Management Conference October25-27 Abu Dhabi, Ritz Carlton.

Back fresh from his Montreal snowfields tour/ICAO word wankery conference and ready and primed to deliver some robust intellectual drivel is Dr. Jonathan Aleck, General Manager, Legal Affairs, Regulatory Policy and International Strategy, CASA, Australia will be presenting at the above conference later this month.

http://www.iata.org/pressroom/pr/Pages/2...04-01.aspx

and Dr Voodoo and the full schedule;

http://www.iata.org/events/Documents/Saf...Agenda.pdf

I'm sure it will be a real hoot as there are lots of 'Doctors' and a few Professors down as speakers. Always fun listening to soft handed intellects who have years of study under their belt but never gotten their hands dirty in the real world pissing on about their personal interpretation, theories and beliefs in what constitutes a safety culture and/or a safe environment. The most dangerous thing these arseclowns would do on a weekly basis is analyse whether the cup of coffee is too hot or do a risk analysis on whether to wear a high vis vest while sharpening pencils at their office desk. WANKERS!

Malaysia re-elected to the ICAO Council

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/20...reelected/

Looks like Malaysia has been rewarded for the magnificent job they are doing in 'leading' the MH370 investigation. Perhaps they will receive some training in Annexe 13 while they are visiting Montreal? They need it....

"K" - Good catch GD. WTF are they drinking over there? 

Well Gobbles it would seem that once again you hit the nail fair smack on its head and the miniscule can now trot out some more bullshit lines and everyone from the ICAO wank-fest confirms that Murky, Dr Hoodoo & Dr W##er are doing a stellar job obfuscating our aviation safety deficiencies DownUnda : 

UN aviation Assembly a success for Australia
Media Release
DC140/2016
11 October 2016


I am pleased to announce Australia has had its Category One status on the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) governing Council reaffirmed following an election process involving more than 190 member states.

This continues our tradition of serving as a ‘State of chief importance in civil aviation’ on the Council. As a founding member of the body, I am delighted Australia has retained this status following the election at ICAO's 39th Assembly in Montreal, Canada.

ICAO is the specialised United Nations agency for international cooperation in civil aviation and works to enhance aviation safety, security, efficiency, and sustainability.

Australia's participation at the Assembly has once again demonstrated our global aviation leadership and enabled Australia to influence key international aviation safety, security and environmental standards and recommended practices.

Another significant achievement for Australia at this year's Assembly was the awarding of the most prestigious award in international aviation, the Edward Warner Award, which was awarded to the late Dr David Warren AO, an Australian citizen renowned for inventing the ‘black box’ flight and data recorder.

An historic agreement was also reached to introduce a global carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation to control carbon dioxide emissions.

The agreement is the culmination of more than six years of negotiations and is the first time an industry sector has committed to reducing its carbon footprint on a global scale.

Money well spent according to the miniscule - OFDS!
