Run rabbit.

One could, I expect, if pushed, frame the current state of ‘matters aeronautical’ in diplomatic, politically correct double speak. One could even soft pedal the statements and dress them in motley. Or; you could simply tell it as it is.  It is fucked; well and truly rooted; you could say the same thing in anyone of a hundred different languages; for example :-

Foutre; Gefickt; scopata; Salta gamisou; выебанная;maris aljins; Fok jou!; Loop naai; Arraioa!;Carajo etc.

But, in the end (pun intended) it all amounts to the same, basic statement, made in the vernacular.  

P2 (legend) posted a great blog piece today – HERE – is a fair old read; but, a worthwhile one.  It points in only one direction; get us a DAS who has runs on the board, understands ‘the system’ and can actually put things to rights.  There is no way known industry is going to be ‘graped’ again; the last little episode has revealed all the deep seated resistance and reluctance to change. There is no intention, whatsoever, within CASA to part with their untrammelled power or overblown budgetary requirements.  

So they have to go – it is that simple; and it seems, from the P2 Blog piece that the industry, including the ‘heavy weights’ have had a gut full of this 30 year pantomime and game of charades.

Enough – Un duck it minister – or be forever tarred with the same brush.

Toot, bollocks, toot, bollocks, toot toot, toot.  Toot Bollocks, toot bollocks toot toot toot.  (Works fine with ‘Run Rabbit run, run, run. run).

MTF? - Betcha boots there is.
