Sorry boys, I know that Houston has a large fan base, it's just that I'm not one of them. I guess that in all fairness there could/would be worse out there than Houston, it's just that I believe the government rewards scheme for these senior bureaucrats is quite simply unjustified. I think it's a sham. But it's my opinion and I don't represent the entire IOS gambit.

Correct my thorny friend. It would seem that Skates is trying to some degree to fix the rot, but in true Fort Fumble style those who don't want change are sharpening the steak knives and want to drive them through the heart of Skates. He was entering shark infested waters from day one. And some of those same sharks covertly stitched up OAM Smith when he spent his 2 or so glorious years at Malfunction Junction many moons ago. Indeed there are many scared trough dwellers there, and I think you may see a robust shaking of the apple cart when the restructure is undertaken. But only time will tell. But for the moment there is certainly a number of mega highly paid incompetents fearing for their future, and rightly so! I just don't think that Skates and several before him realised just how dirty and dangerous the CAsA game is. He would have been better of staying in the Airforce having his loyal subordinates do push-ups and eating soggy biscuits, much safer. There is no honour among men at Fort Fumble, and if he thought he was going to receive some sort of Commander and Chief respect or admiration, he was very very wrong. Them CAsA boys will toast him down to the last blackened piece.
Sadly Fort Fumbles 20 plus year history is deplorable, the GWM rules. ASA's history is deplorable with the legacy of the Russell years living on and Staib being utterly useless. The last 5 years of ATsB decline under the rulership of the bearded one Beaker is deplorable, and the decline in its autonomous ability is frightening. These three alphabet soup organisations have sat under the umbrella of Pumpkin Head, who has sat beneath successive incompetent Miniscules. So you see the problems lead all the way to the very top. Unless the culture in the PM and PMC's office changes we stand not a hope in hell for decent change or reform. It's time to bring on people like Mike Smith and Alan Stray. Perhaps the Government will resort to paying the IOS to turn away from wanting aviation reform? Why not, it works with the boats........
More Thorny;
Now where's Casaweary when we need some insight into the internal machinations of disaster Castle?
Passing strange that one Casaweary. Seems to have earned some sort of weird UP protection? Only seems to pop up twice a year and when he/she does it is pretty damn funny, lethal and accurate. Me thinks he/she is very close to the Fort Fumble circle? Regardless it would be nice to see him/her take up residence on Autypru, perhaps a campaign of sorts and an offer of free chocolate frogs and unlimited hand relief might be the ticket!!!!
