Excellent article Mr Higgins. Excellent post P2! In part;
An increasing number of aviation industry figures are calling on Houston to take charge and introduce those aspects of the US system that are within his direct control, such as the firefighters becoming radio operators.
While some measures, such as extending controlled airspace wherever reliable radar is available, would also involve CASA, the figures say Houston is in a commanding position to lobby for the changes and make them happen.
Houston has been in, and is in, a position to induce change. So far he hasn't, rather he has chosen to do what long term bureaucrats do - remain loyal to their puppet masters regardless of the outcome. Houston is a footstool to parliament. Why do you think he cut OAM Smith out of the loop years ago on ASA issues? He knew that Dick is a go-getter, and go-getters force change, and change causes ripples, and Governments don't like ripples.
ASA is a monopoly and it is a sham that the Execs are are so disgustingly remunerated and fattened with giant bonuses while presiding over a monopoly that has nil competitors. And Houston has conveniently gone silent as he normally does, using holidays or 'no comment' to duck his way out of the spotlight. Gutless!
As for the questions and lack of clarity over Staib's remuneration when she started, all I can say is she makes around $600k in salary and perks, and that excludes her bonus. Herr Russell her predecessor was on around $850k from memory. Either way she is comfortably compensated for holding the top position while her minions such as Hoody do all the real work.
So some may feel that Angus is being sized up for a pair of clay boots, but I'm not so sure. There are many, many questions to be answered about the salary and bonus increases, credit card frauds, identified non-mitigated risks and the giant lack of transparency. And may I add that this has all taken place under Frau Staibs executive appointment as well as Herr Houston's directorship. I still believe Staib along with Hoody are doing better than the Russellites,
but not by much.
TICK TOCK and OINK OINK
