Well done Ken; Bravo. We should add a ‘good work’ and well done for Carmody, then just hope it’s not too little, too late. How good would it be to have lean, clean, functional maintenance organisations back on aerodromes? But to do what – exactly’ servicing a thriving industry perhaps? Oh, but wait a moment – there ain’t one. That has been decimated by the horrendous cost of compliance, the ever present threat of jail or fiscal penalty and of course the amount of time it takes to get anything done – provided the paper- work has not been lost; or, returned not correctly completed.

Carmody is in a position very much like a minister – the ‘go’ decision is made and the instructions issued to those who are to execute the orders. This is great in principal, ‘make it happen’ is the edict – but who is going to make the changes?

Well in the CASA case – it’s the same sad, sorry bunch of misfits who buggered it all up in the first place; those who took forever to do it and cost us a bomb in the doing; while the industry quietly turned it’s toes up.

It’s great – ‘in principal’ Mr Carmody and thank you. Now, could you please explain who is going to do the rewrite, how long it will take and approximately the total forecast cost of the whole thing – from the beginning of the balls up, to the repairs being complete?

Get some professional help mate – you’ll need it to see this job done.

Toot toot.
