“On the Skidmore watch”.
Does that oft quoted catchall not strike you as being either cynical or sinister? The speed at which Skidmore and his ‘tigers’ are accelerating away from anything resembling the Forsyth report is, to say the least, remarkable. The Skidmore steadfast refusal to look backwards and correct such aberrations as Pel-Air and restore the lost faith is at least as cynical as it is foolhardy.
The sinister part is simple, by refusing to correct past wrongs and heal old wounds the intention to continue onwards, without even acknowledging that CASA created not only the bloody awful law they are attempting to repair; they are acting as if suddenly they are the fairy Godmother of aviation and all can be fixed with fireside chats.
It’s Bollocks; it’s spin, it is cynical, it is sinister, it’s counterproductive and it’s wrong. The wheels on the Skidmore wagon are wobbling, pony-pooh will only get you so far. The actions of CASA are at complete odds with stated wishes of the Minister, the Board and the industry; the rhetoric is spot on – but reality lurks. Reality comes in the guise of expert observation, the solutions writ large by every aviation group in Australia. No need for a week kneed, captive team of clapped out pussy cats or a cyber thug like Jason the Sandbag – it’s all been written by the industry CASA serve. Provided to David Forsyth, approved my the Minister, supported by the CASA board.
Skidmore need not bother to reinvent the wheel; the old one is still busted laying in the dust on the side of the road. Repair is needed; not invention, particularly by the purblind, incompetent halfwits who bust the thing in the first place.
Well: I’m tired to death of hearing “not on Skidmore’s watch, therefore there is no problem.
BOLLOCKS.
