ASA and the flying duck.
Well, the BRB ‘settling up’ night draws near; it always takes a while for the repercussions to fall out of the woodwork. Clearly, those who bet on ‘Houston’ stepping up and actually doing something about not only the clearly identified, established rorts and obscene amounts paid to those who apparently see this behaviour as a ‘perk’, part of the job, lost their beers. It would be a little more palatable if the ‘job’ was done properly; or even an attempt made to justify why the job is so much more difficult in Australia than it is in other countries.
Despite the unheeded shellacking in the press, driven by Dick Smith; regardless of the awkward, embarrassing moments in estimates and disregarding a front page call for Angus to get his finger out and bring a semblance of control to his apple cart, bring it back under some sort of decent restraint; there is solid silence. Not a peep, not a chirp. Perhaps the notion of actually earning the fee paid to chairpersons and board members is just too risible to contemplate.
Anyway – the bets made will be honoured, but winning such a wager is a cold comfort to those who hoped for better from the ASA. No matter, we can all clutch our courage badges to our winged bosoms as we stare at the poster depicting the vision splendid as ASA management see it. That bloody cartoon poster just about sums it up, don’t it?.
Selah.
Quote:#46 – 24. 05.15. ASA on centre stage for 90 minutes at 2130. If you were a Senator, where would you start? I mean FFS. We could start with a prayer of thanks to the ATCO who despite all odds, turn up every day and manage to keep aircraft separated. But what goes on above that level and beneath the Houston radar has to be one of the greatest travesties in Australian history. Perhaps the scant 90 minutes could be used to mount an appeal to Houston. "Oi, Angus, sort this bloody management shambles out – Please, for pities sake". Maybe the BRB can draft it, save a shed load of time.
