Tuesday 27/08/19,           2.14PM             CASA Regional Manager to New Owner of APTA


Hi (new owner of APTA), I understand that Mr Buckley remains as APTA deputy HOO. This is no longer tenable with the comments that Mr Buckley is making publicly.

Please confirm APTA’s intentions in relation to Mr Buckley as deputy HOO and whether Mr Buckley is authorised to speak on behalf of APTA. Thanks again Jason.
 
Tuesday 27/08/19 on direction from the CASA Regional Manager, the new owner of APTA approaches me on receipt of this email and my employment is terminated.

Glen,

I acknowledge your email. I have asked the accountable manager (new APTA owner) to clarify whether you continue to operate as Deputy HOO, and whether you are authorised to speak on behalf of APTA.I will leave it to Mr XXXXXXX, as the accountable manager, to communicate his decisions to you.

Regards. Jason McHeyzer Region Manager
 
Wednesday 28/08/19            8.04AM             Email Glen Buckley to CASA Regional Manager

Hi Jason, sorry my inquiry isn’t actually specifically regarding APTA or my role within APTA. Im trying to plan for my family going forward. Im simply asking for you to consider my reputation when contacting any employers or potential employers.

Can you clarify if CASA has concerns about me in a Key Personnel role only?

I was about to get my instructor rating active but will change my plans if you are opposed to me having a wider involvement in the industry.
I don’t think the question really needs to involve (New Business Owner), because it’s a query about my wider employability.

Thankfully, Glen

Hi Jason, just after an acknowledgement of the previous email regarding my wider employability,

cheers. Glen

Regards Jason
 
Thursday 29/08/19             5.14AM         Glen Buckley to CASA Regional Manager

Dear Jason,

Can you please advise or confirm that during the last 3 days you have not sent any correspondence to any Employer or potential employer that could potentially impact on any current or future employment for myself. Please advise by 5PM today, to assist me with future plans for me and my family. I call on you to provide that, rather than require me to make a request under FOI. Glen.
 
Thursday 29/08/19                6.09PM                CASA Regional Manager to new APTA Owner

Dear Mr XXXXX

I refer to your email exchange with Jason McHeyzer on Tuesday afternoon 27th August 2019, and in particular to Mr McHeyzers email to you of 2.14PM on that day.

I understand that MrMc Heyzer spoke to you in a telephone conversation later in the afternoon of 27 August 2019 to clarify his intentions. I confirm here that Mr Mc Heyzer sought to ensure that APTA was aware that Mr Buckley was representing his views as the views of APTA. The proprietary or impropriety of this was and is entirely a matter between you and Mr Buckley.

Please be assured CASA has no issue with Mr Buckley being or remaining an employee of APTA, and it is a question for you to decide whether he should be or remain so.

Mr Mc Heyzer also sought your advice in relation to Mr Buckley’s role.

In the event Mr Buckley, or anyone else for that matter, should be nominated by you as a person to hold a position in APTA for which CASAs approval would be required, we would consider any such nomination fairly, on the merits and according to the applicable requirements at that time, having regard to the relevant considerations.

For now, I apologise for any confusion Mr Mc Heyzers email may have created, and I trust his follow up telephone advice of 27 August 2019 coupled with his message clarifies CASAs position.

Yours sincerely,

Craig

Friday          30/08/19    4.53AM. Glen Buckley makes Freedom of Information Request,

Dear Mr Gobbitt,

I believe that at some stage during the week commencing 26/08/19, the Regional Manager, Mr Jason McHeyzer may have initiated and sent correspondence to my employer that has affected my continuing employment, and my families welfare. If that correspondence exists, as it primarily affects me, can I call for a copy of any such correspondence.

Respectfully, Glen Buckley
 
 
Saturday 31/08/19    9.42AM      Email simultaneously sent to CASA Regional Manager and CASA Industry Complaints Commissioner.
 
Subject : Potential impact of CASA actions, on Glen Buckley’s livelihood.
Saturday 31/08 19

Dear Mr Jason McHeyzer.

I am writing to you in your role as the Regional Manager for CASA.

I note that you are also a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on my matter. You have perhaps, the most comprehensive knowledge of any person within CASA. You have been involved since the very beginning and been involved throughout. The handwritten notes that you left with me after our meeting way back on the 29/11/18, clearly indicate that you were acutely aware of the impact on me and my business back then.

You will not refute; all my engagements with  CASA personnel on all matters regarding my employment as the CASA approved CEO, a CASA approved HOO, and currently  in the role of Standby HOO,  have been conducted by me, in a highly professional manner.

My primary concerns are “safety, compliance, and the very best outcome for anyone affected by this current issue”.

I have significant “personal” differences with CASA at the moment, but my professional conduct in the work place in all CASA engagements has been exemplary.

I have been warm, engaging, courteous, respectful, supportive, and professional. I have not compromised my professional integrity at any stage. You will not disagree.

You are aware of my view on Organisational ethics. I have an expectation, in any organisation including my own, and CASA, that when ethics, safety, or procedures are being compromised; as Professionals, we must make a decision. A decision to stand aside from that process and show  leadership and integrity, or a decision to become complicit.

I sent the following email to you last Thursday morning. It has not been acknowledged, and I do require it acknowledged.
 
“Dear Jason,
 
Can you please advise or confirm that during the last 3 days you have not sent any correspondence to any Employer or potential employer that could potentially impact on any current or future employment for myself.
 
Please advise by 5PM today, to assist me with future plans for me and my family.
 
I call on you to provide that, rather than require me to make a request under FOI.
 
Glen”
 
To be frank. If you have made such a decision and taken such a course of action, then you have over stepped the mark. You are aware that this process has cost me everything. If you have taken any action to affect my future employment, I have a reasonable expectation that you can justify that on legitimate grounds.
 
Therefore. In the interests of protecting my reputation, I have advised you that I have made a Freedom of Information request for that information to see if any such correspondence exists.
 
This correspondence is also being submitted simultaneously to the Industry Complaints Commissioner. I will provide CASA the “first right of refusal”. If the CASA ICC chooses not to deal with it, I will go to the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
 
My complaint. If the Regional Manager,  has taken action that may affect my opportunity to derive a livelihood, that should be based on justifiable grounds related to
·        Safety, or
·        Compliance, or
·        My professional conduct, or
·        Medical grounds.
 
I should be involved in any such correspondence, and I should at least be made aware of it.
 
Expected results from the ICC
 
I be  provided with a copy of such correspondence if it exists.
 
If it exists, CASA issue a public apology to protect my professional reputation.
 
The ICC clearly state if this action by the Regional Manager is a breach of any stipulated procedures.
 
Thankyou, Glen Buckley
 
Please note. I will be publishing this correspondence

For the latest refer HERE to the UP thread now re-badged (Glen Buckley and Australian small business -V- CASA ) and moved to the main Oz and NZed Forum...MTF - P2 

P9 - MTF - Seems to me Glen got lucky – at least the ‘new owner; had the balls to show him the letter. Buckley; Lucky?  No way howls the mob. I beg to differ; this sort of shit goes down the tubes from CASA on a weekly basis. As close at last week, another I know was refused employment in much the same manner as Glen was; but no one had the guts to say so, let alone provide evidence. Ayup, Glen got lucky, he was told his employment was not ‘tenable’. This one element of CASA behavior needs to be exterminated, with prejudice, the sooner the better.
