Long on rhetoric; short on action.
CASA – “On 4 September 2017 we took another a key step in re-setting the way CASA consults and engages with the aviation community. That was the date of the first meeting of the new Aviation Safety Advisory Panel, which has been set up to provide me with informed and objective high-level advice on current, emerging and potential issues and the way CASA performs its functions.”
"I haven't seen a revamp like this in any of the earlier 'false dawns'," Russell said. "I think we've started the right way and it has real potential to deliver the goods."
AIPA – “Australian and International Pilots Association vice-president Shane Loney said he understood why there was a delay but was “disappointed this is still going on”.
“We’re disappointed at how slow it is,” he said.” (Amen to that).
Reality fix.....

Before the CASA tram can be put back into service, there is a lot of work to. The top dogs will come and look at the wreckage, shake their heads, tut-tut and go back to HQ, where they will discuss their exposure first, the PR angle second, who to blame third and finally after looking at the insurance, decide the cheapest way to extricate themselves, finally call in those who may know how to return to service and tell ‘em to report back on ways and means first.
The engineers, town council wallah’s and the company second tier management will then visit, wearing Hi-viz and hard hats; tut-tut, shake their heads then scuttle back to the office to draft reports, flavoured with their own agenda, seasoned with obfuscation and larded with self defence.
The poor old driver will get crucified; the insurers will duck as much expense as they can and the whole show will drag on for a fortnight. Meanwhile the road is blocked, people are late for work, a business is closed and generally, life is made miserable for those really affected by the wreckage.
It is very well to talk the talk. But ask the man in the street what he wants – “I want this bleeding hulk removed from my front door, the mess cleaned up and I want to be able to get to work – now would be good”.
This is, despite the rhetoric, exactly what Carmody has to deal with; a wreck and a serious problem. No amount of chat will remove it, someone has to roll up their sleeves, get some machinery in there and start moving stuff. This wreck has been parked there for 30 long, weary, expensive, inconvenient, gab filled years.
Time to stop gabbing and start the heavy lifting.
Toot - toot.
