A Wednesday, mid week off schedule twiddle?
So, Kharon touched on a point that has confused, concerned, perplexed and befuddled me for quite some time;
"But, but, CASA ‘regulate’ and licence ASA; CASA is even supposed to ‘audit’ ASA once every blue moon. Suddenly, the airy assertion that not only ASA but ‘air safety’ has little to do with CASA. BOLLOCKS"
Nice catch and bollocks indeed! Why is it that when it suits CAsA (which is often), they trot out the 'us and them' line when it comes to ASA? Well, IMO the 'gap' between the two is not as great as CAsA make out. As Kharon said, CAsA license, for better words, ASA. Just as they issue an airline, maintenance org or airport with an AOC or COA. The CAsA are meant to audit ASA, just as they audit an AOC or COA holder. Yet, when it comes to ASA they are now enjoying cups of green tea and cucumber sandwiches at joint Board meetings? WTF! As for a quarter of the ASA work force getting the arse and no more than a casual conversation taking place with the Regulator, well Kharon has touched on that so I won't rehash it but jeez how frightening is that? So much for the mighty SMS, change management, closing loops and managing risks......
TICK TOCK indeed.
