" It was ever thus"
The Scottish Gentleman brings to my mind what I believe an apt description;
The Dictionary:
git [ɡɪt]
noun British informal
an unpleasant or contemptible person:
“On the contrary, we are trying to fulfil our mandate and the public's expectations by ensuring these flights continue to be conducted without placing passengers at unnecessary risk. Our position on this has not changed.”
"fullfil our mandate" ?????
Turning to the dictionary again:
fulfil | fʊlˈfɪl | (US fulfill)
verb (fulfils, fulfilling, fulfilled)
1 achieve or realize (something desired, promised, or predicted):
mandate
noun | ˈmandeɪt |
1 an official order or commission to do something:
CAsA has eminently fulfilled it's own desires, promises to itself, but realised none of its own predictions.
What of the industry it feeds off, that it relies upon for it's existence, has CAsA fulfilled anything desired, promised or predicted to industry?
risk | rɪsk |
noun
a situation involving exposure to danger: flouting the law was too much of a risk | [mass noun] : all outdoor activities carry an element of risk.
Verb
expose (someone or something valued) to danger, harm, or loss: he risked his life to save his dog.
• act in such a way as to bring about the possibility of (an unpleasant or unwelcome event)
• incur the chance of unfortunate consequences by engaging in (an action)
Used as a noun:
We are exposed to danger getting out of bed in the morning or staying there as one chooses. Risk is almost impossible to quantify or measure. Statistic's help, but then there are statistics and damned lies. The ATSB and CAsA would appear to prefer the latter. Aviation, even the private sort, is statistically much safer than going by road, so one would imagine, logically, if CAsA's MANDATE was safety, they would be encouraging community service flights not attempting to regulate them into extinction.
Used as a Verb:
CAsA has therefore exposed people to danger and harm and acted in a way to bring about the possibility of an unwelcome event. Would CAsA take responsibility for unfortunate consequences of engaging in driving as opposed to flying?
