The Rev rides again. Bravo!
Once again we find the quiet, modest words of the good Rev. Forsyth to be concise and eminently sensible. The case made not only practical but profitable and it drags Australia screaming into the modern world of real aviation. He tried to achieve this with the ASRR – which was treated very shabbily, denigrated to ‘an opinion’ and dismissed with lip service. Lets hope the latest ‘opinion’ is treated with less contempt.
Rev. Forsyth – “The problem is exacerbated by the lack of trust between CASA and industry as noted in the ASRR, which denies CASA assistance from industry to acquire at least some of the required knowledge.”
I can’t take umbrage with the good Rev’s statements, for they are, in main, true. But it gets my back up when CASA ‘experts’ must rely on industry to learn how to best do their work. FCOL, we pay ‘expert’ wages to these people; they are hired because of their ‘expertise’, we are constantly judged and assessed by these ‘experts’; we must obey and endure their often whimsical notions of what is considered legal and correct. But now, we must also, without recompense, train the dozy buggers. Sod that; either pay ‘em apprentice wages; or, hire the real deal: end of.
Nice to see AMROBA and the inestimable Ken Cannane in there with another excellent submission. I’m always impressed by the sheer volume of work Ken and his crew get through; the unstinting provision of the first class expert assistance, to CASA, industry is expected to provide. I’m amazed he still bothers to try and educate CASA, but he does, despite the students being as thick as pig pooh, deaf as posts and as blind as church bell.
I do wonder why some of the big ‘union’ players did not or have not as yet taken a swing at this ball? Seems to me it would be in their general interest to support the move – but then I don’t really understand the world of maintenance. Hey, maybe I could get a gig with Airworthiness and get paid a fortune to learn all about it from Ken and the Rev. Aye, nice work if you can get it.
Toot toot.
