Off the backhand.
TB – “Comparing the cost of training and red tape here compared with there and also the US is a far safer place to fly, the decision is puzzling”.
Oh, don’t know that it’s a puzzle TB – I reckon the minister wants to piggy-back on the Qantas effort to sort out the mess left by successive useless ministers and tame, CASA trained ‘advisors’. Mind you, I hear that the Big Q application for a part 142 tick is having a rough ride; been knocked back a couple of times – CASA know best etc.
You’d reckon, just for ease and economy, Big Q would tell ‘em to bugger off and just do all their training in the USA; I suspect quiet deals have been done over a coffee; the minister can then say – hand on heart – that the government have moved to ‘sort’ the pilot shortage problem. Disgusting – but hey, you can still drink the water; provided you live far enough away from an aerodrome that is.
Toot – toot.
