“Angel Flight in an administrative sense are absolute sticklers for the rules – we need a medical certificate each time we need to travel, sign waivers and have to comply with every regulation they ask for.” Twice they have been in situations in the air that didn’t go to plan but they said the professional attitude of the pilots had been totally trustworthy. One occurred in March 2018 when summer storms were building up. They were advised they may not reach their destination and may have to overnight in Roma. In fact, they had to put down in Mitchell at the pilot’s discretion after constant communication with the Bureau of Meteorology and contact with Angel Flight to advise of the change to the schedule. “We arrived in Toowoomba the next morning with 20 minutes to spare before our first appointment,” Lindsay said. “They’re not looking to kill themselves, they’re very careful pilots.”
Dear CAsA, did you notice that comment; “They’re not looking to kill themselves, they’re very careful pilots.” That’s the crux of the matter - good pilots, caring people, performing a life saving service. They don’t want to die any more than their passengers want to die. Yet two accidents that don’t even marry up with the draconian regulations that have been ‘snuck in’ over the Christmas period are the catalyst for change? WTF??
And on a final note, if the Government is so hell-bent on making sure people don’t die;
- Why do they allow shit roads like the Bruce Highway in Queensland, which kills dozens each year, to remain in a single lane mess most of the way from Gympie to Cairns?
- Why does the Government allow the outback rural hospitals and health services to be so poorly supported that an estimated hundreds die each year?
- Why does the Government refuse to ban cigarettes which kill thousands each year through direct smoking and passive smoking?
Why is there no concerns over these matters which results in thousands of deaths every year???? Yet CAsA, a Government bureaucracy that costs us well over $150m annually is allowed to prioritise chasing down Angel Flight out of existence???
I cannot believe that the fool Mc’Do’Nothing thinks he will still be in Government later this year!! It’s back to running a fake media pissy local newspaper for you numbnuts. You really are living on cloud nine aren’t you.
ROYAL COMMISSION INTO CASA REQUIRED RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!
