A self written epitaph.
I applaud the Hitch courage; to write one’s own epitaph is a brave thing to do. Not that he’ll be missed, not after this last, pointless Creedy/Gibson style load of bollocks. The very least he could do is slope off into a deeper insignificance. He says; and I quote “But, in my 33 years of flying, etc. BOLLOCKS. He has been poncing about, grabbing ‘free’ rides and attempting to write about it for three decades – there are veritable children with 33 months of ‘proper’ aviation under their fledgling wings who have more idea about ‘flying’ than Hitch has ever been able to accomplish. Could he actually get a real job, flying a humble 206 about the NT?
Now, today, he chooses to whip up the fires between two insignificant GA outfits; and, has the hide to pontificate – WTD. The enemy is part 149 – blind Freddy (apologies P27) can see that; yet Hitch chooses to rub salt into the wounds rather than bang silly heads together. Anyone who actually believes CASA would work in their interests needs their bumps felt – big time. FCOL – if both parties agreed to disagree, but united told CASA to shove it where the sin don’t shine’ perhaps, they could both move onward and upward in a better environment. But, no, Hitch chooses to stoke the coals; then, tells ‘em the same lie that CASA tell. No options - It's simply not true, you do have a choice - just reject it.
Hitch - The MOS is the bible that ASAOs are going to live or die by, and there are some in the aviation community that believe the most likely result is die.
Bollocks – No it ain't. United the small end of GA could tell CASA that the MOS is rubbish, the intent sinister, the outcome ridiculous, the concept fatally flawed and; they (collectively) ain’t going to have a bar of it. Self interest must run second place here; let the market decide who wins. But to let CASA roll this piece of legislative garbage through, without let or hindrance is tantamount to killing off sport and recreational flying. That means no more free-bee’s for Hitch.
If all that weren’t bad enough we get this line of twaddle:-
Hitch - "To make matters worse, Qantas has then appointed a US company, L3 Commercial Aviation, to run the flying schools."
Why Hitch? Why in all the seven hells would Qantas use an Australian company to teach the children? Think about it, try hard, just for a moment – think it through. Then there is this silly ‘survey’ to consider. Perhaps Hitch ain’t worked it out yet why folk ain’t queuing up. Bloody Muppet. .
Enough – Hitch has written his own epitaph and shown his true colours. It is enough for the time being. Oz flying should not have too much trouble filling in the miniscule, gutless hole left in his wake. Even Fearless Phelan may crack a smile now and Sandilands will beam down – from above. Shame really – Hitch had a chance to really make a difference – alas……………
Gauge RED line exceeded – shut down required.
Toot – toot.
