Chalk and Cheese:
Smooth as silk, a clear, authoritative message delivered at the right time, to the people that matter, by respected people who actually know what they are about, in a manner which ensures the clear message will receive attention it deserves.
I expect that the Senate recommendations handed down after the Pel-Air inquiry were considered for a mention. Personally, I’d like to see those recommendations get a little more ‘air time’ than they receive, however, the window of opportunity to deliver a clear message to a minister is not large and a succinct, clear message will be a more effective door opener.
That’s the key to it all; entrée, access, time; all essential elements to gaining ministerial support. Darren Chester did not, single handed, create the embarrassing mess aviation is in; but he did inherit it and now must own it. The big question is, will he be guided and advised by some of smartest professional aviation participants in the business and gain kudos for his ministry; or, stick with the flawed, counterproductive, self serving advice which landed aviation deep in the muck.
Ministers call; you can see why he may be a little reluctant to deal with what he perceives as representative of industry and be gun-shy of a bunch of raggedy arse, noisy amateurs. But TAAAF and their carefully mapped policy are not of that ilk. The minister may trust TAAAF motive, method, logic and solutions; it is the best advice available, bar none, - freely gifted.
Time will tell the tale. Bravo TAAAF, well done all concerned, thank you.
Toot toot.
Quote:"In light of industry comments, TAAAF urges the Government to re-assess its progress with regard to implementation of the ASRR recommendations and recommit to more decisive actions."
The scorecard was released after a TAAAF meeting at the Australian International Air-show last week. The meeting also highlighted three areas the Forum would like the government to action.
1. A National Aviation Strategy developed in partnership with industry
2. A comprehensive new training system to meet expected demand, including the introduction of HECS for pilots.
3. Reform of CASA including implementing ASRR agreed recommendations, harmonising regulations with ICAO, reviewing the Civil Aviation Act 1988 and reviewing the CASA funding model as per TAAAF policy.
