Finally the running of the DAS Cup - Or is it?? 



Via the LMH: http://www.australianflying.com.au/the-l...april-2021

...Intrigue is stalking the corridors of Aviation House as everyone eyes the empty corner office with some unease. It has been nearly 10 months since CASA knew they were going to need a new Director of Aviation Safety (DAS), but still there is no name on the door. It took 10 months from the time he took over as Acting DAS for Shane Carmody to be confirmed in the role, but in that case there was really no other person in the race; Carmody was always the front runner. Things are different this time around. The Acting DAS Graeme Crawford has not been installed as the bookies' favourite the way Carmody was. And that's where the intrigue comes in. If not he, then who? Is there another internal candidate ready to leapfrog Crawford and get the best seat in the building, or does the CASA board have their eye on someone from outside the organisation? We've debated endlessly on whether CASA needs a DAS with aviation experience or bureaucratic strength, and experiments with both have resulted–from a GA point of view[i]–[/i]to be inconclusive. That leaves the door completely open for both internal and external candidates to slog it out. Not until the appointment is made will we know what the CASA board is thinking, and indeed what they want CASA to be in the future...

And then from Para 377, via the UP:

Saturday 24 April announcement - New CEO/DAS

---

Supposedly the DPM’s office will formally announce who the new CEO/DAS is on Saturday 24 April (tomorrow). I guess the truthful response to that is ‘who gives a sh#t’. Whether it is true or not, nothing will change anyway, you can’t put lipstick on a pig. She/her/he/him/it/non-binary will be a puppet at the mercy of the Board and dopey DPM. Another trough dweller who is narcissistic, sociopathic and arrogant. It’s all tautological.

Not sure if the rumour is correct but I will be monitoring the WOFTAM WWW (Witless Wonder from Wagga), throughout the course of the day, to see if indeed he makes any such announcements.

Referring to my last post I note that the Fort Fumble ANAO audit is now open for contribution...
