I don't believe it is in PA interests to appeal your matter because it suits their purpose to draw a line under the matter. However if they don't, I believe you have set a precedent for others to follow with issues of the mind brought about by our 'bureaurats' interfering in matters they, or their mates have vested interests in.

It will open doors previously shut to pilots who have lost their employment and suffered with depression as a consequence of CASA interference.

Depression is rampart among pilots and nobody knows... To seek treatment will put their Career on the line. Indeed it is a serious threat to the flying public that needs airing and a private study funded by government should be done and released to the public.

I have nothing to loose now. I have diagnosed PTSD and Depression and because I didn't know better and no treatments were about then, I fought this battle alone until today. It's a tough battle some times and can be climatic if no strength of will or character is there. It is insidious because it never goes away. In hindsight CASA Medical Branch should have tested me before they gave me back my medical after a head injury. It's just a miracle nothing happened until now. Now when I no longer have any will to fly and don't. A pity because I loved it and our regulator took will that away.

If anybody wants to seek funding for such a study, I'll gladly help. If anybody wants to do the study, I'll gladly help.

If anybody wants to share in a signatory push to have Ziggy awarded with a medal of courage, I'll help.

You deserve it love...
