And speaking of reforms, the Aviation Maintenance Repair and Overhaul Business Association (AMROBA) has again called for the Civil Aviation Act to be reviewed and some of the promised culture changes included. This would, theoretically, make them permanent rather than just current policy. Well, it would make them as permanent as the government anyway. If it's easy to make changes to the Act to include, it has to be just as easy for the next government to change the Act to exclude. Still, it would make a statement to the industry that the minister is at least very serious about keeping the reforms going.

But in the eyes of AMROBA, just what are the reforms won for their membership? Whereas we have seen plenty of action on Parts  61, 141 and 142, the maintenance regs, which have the capacity to do some serious mischief to the health of the industry, don't seem to me to be getting similar attention. Either that or the new leadership just doesn't get the point. I would think the MROs issues would also warrant a task-force approach.
