So Mr Skidmore, you've certainly inherited what one might call - a clusterf#ck! Now, there are obviously numerous issues you are dealing with such as credit card fraud, potted plants, summer snake risks in the front yard at The Circuit, not to mention your poor Inspectors suffering from 'horrific fatigue issues'. But you've proved that you can chip away at some of the dross. For example CVD - Poohshan walked the green mile, good start but not nearly enough mitigation. Why has his support network not been shown the door? Part 61 is an international disgrace, why have the architects and signatories of this pile of dung not ALL been shown the door?

Does CAsA have an ethos that includes the most senior people, such as yourself, being willing to accept poor and incompetent decision making? Are you going to continue to stand by incompetent, white anting, inefficient, unworthy individuals who continue to make decisions that are so embarrassingly disastrous that the decisions actually bring adverse reactions to peoples careers, futures, and even parts of the economy?? I mean I always thought that a military leader of your stature and background was a firm leader, one who commanded respect from his peers, one who displayed nouse and testicular fortitude? From where I sit I am viewing someone who is having his wings clipped, someone who is not willing to make difficult decisions and instead is kneeling down to his subordinates! Surely the military didn't teach you to reward bad behaviour, promote the incompetent, lethargic and lazy? Hardly a connected and solid leader sir. More like a pussy-whipped Navigator, not a man of steel.......

Tick tock Mark, your 6 months is up. Industry is boiling sir, the Senators are coming, ICAO is coming, the Styx houseboat is coming...TOOT TOOT
