Wombat points out that sub contractors are employed by the Defence Department. This is a necessary component of equipment procurement and maintenance, where outsourcing stops and Defence personnel takeover will be a matter for judgment.
With respect I see the point about calling those contractors ‘mini CASAs’ but there’s a vast difference here because they are private businesses competing for contracts.
Example; What if we could choose which Part 61 to use, that of the USA, NZ or Australia? No prizes for guessing how many schools would stay with the CASA P61 nightmare, let alone the ‘HOOey’ of Parts 141/142.
