Steam - On.

We are going to have to adopt Hitch before we run out of CF; another good piece of balanced, pragmatic reporting providing another piece to the jigsaw puzzle.  

Oliver's banging his gums - again, pleading for respect he hasn’t earned and support for his gang of incompetents who can’t even spell out the difference between a PNR and ETP without making a dogs breakfast of it.  Low vis landings, Wow, cutting edge stuff, after 40 years of research, CASA will allow it; stellar.  

This puling, child like begging for respect and understanding is becoming nauseating.   When you add the threat of being ignored it begins to smell and feel like he’s reading from one of those thoroughly modern PC, soft left, overbearing, overweening kindergarten phycology manuals, written by some harridan with hairy legs and a ‘goddess’ complex; or, a Nonce (not the numerical version).   Well, industry has been ignored for well over 30 years now; peaceful cooperation and boot licking changed SFA and Oliver ain’t guaranteeing anything better either.  He just wants a quiet life until his lucrative contract expires and we are supposed to provide it.  

Bollocks, he can’t even control his own people who show him less respect than even we here do; we at least do it openly and honestly, not furtively in the nations cafes and tea rooms.   Want respect, join forces with Boyd, get off your plush arse and get on with the job. Start by sacking whoever dreamt up the half arsed ‘fuel’ policy (do try to read the PNR/ETP section), or those who drafted part 61 (do try to read the ‘stalling/spin activity’  section).  What about the 'parts' scandal, how about discussing that openly and honestly; you know the one; that which claimed a Tiger and two lives.   Alternatively, continue wringing your hands and plaintively begging for more; there ain’t no more you snivelling, whining, piss poor excuse for a ‘man’. Now that was vitriolic, était-ce pas?

Q –“We also need that report card on action taken as a result of the Forsyth report into CASA which was released 18 months ago, again to clear the air. The government accepted most of the report’s recommendations but industry’s perception is that very few of them have indeed been actioned.”

There’s a place to start, crush the opposition to Forsyth within CASA; just get rid of those who oppose and start with the easy ones, gain some respect and work through the rest.  But for pities sake stop whining in the press about well deserved brickbats; you earned and own everyone of ‘em.  (Plonker reality fix).

Well, it makes me cranky, so much could be done and left to do; and we get what? Another load of hot arse air and ticked off for daring to call it for what it is. Bucket please.

I know, I know, deep breaths and back to my knitting. But it's nowhere near good enough; is it.

FCOFL.  Nah, keep it coming GD, we'll need it again, soon.
