It’s quiet Tonto – too damn quiet.
It’s an open secret that DDDD is going to release a ‘statement’ tomorrow; it is funny and mildly entertaining to watch folk like the GA 'Task force' (ffs) milling about, trying to find the ‘miniscule’ office, going puce, keeping their mouth’s firmly shut. Probably just another hugely expensive ‘intensive research program to support the CASA denial that they have almost killed off GA. Another waste of time and money – ducks sake – half the problem industry has works on the CASA GA section and, like with Pel-Air, they will very neatly support their positions. No inquiry please, just fire the known offenders; cut down the waiting time, half the costs; get some NZ regulations in and stand back. All of this bloody hoop-la; there will I expect some ‘sweeteners’ – like class 2 medicals – although what earthly use such a thing is to a ‘professional’ airman I have yet to discover. Most GA ‘business’, the ones that generate jobs and revenue need professional pilots; any chance of the lunacy attached to class 1 medicals being examined. Nah, didn’t think so. Maybe DDD has had an epiphany and is going to hire some 'competence' to tell him what he don't wanna hear; Nah, perish the thought.
Aye well; we can all wait on Mitch 'Binga' (good fellah that one) to reveal the secrets we will discuss this evening at the BRB preliminary. Window dressing, smoke and mirrors, re-badged, recycled and another 30 years of misery, presented by the same sad, sorry bunch who will never, ever, answer for the carnage they have created, but will now get to whisper in the ministerial ear-hole (yuk) - No matter, the dole queue will never see them. I could probably sit here and draft tomorrows ‘grand announcement’; but then I’d miss the darts comp; local Derby.
One sleep to the ‘big’ day – Yes; I can wait.
Toot toot.
