[Kharon]

A simple question - from a practical mind; one which to which I would really like to see answer, writ in plain, clear English.

What exactly did Buckley do (or not do)?

In every document I've read (a lot of) it seems he jumped through many hoops, cleared away obstacles, developed a working model of the 'flight school' mess under the new regulation and offered 'franchise' for use of his sound, working system. A system which I believe would be beneficial to all – except it may have taken some 'fee for service' away from the CASA juggernaut – maybe. A drop in the bucket really.

So why 'the full Monte' treatment? Don't make any sense to me whatsoever. I think industry deserves that question answered – at top level – even if we spend a few bucks on quality counsel to speak on his behalf to the government's legal eagles (another drop in the bucket). Not in a court; but in 'meeting' environment, where the pro's and con's may be examined impartially before a Senate committee. Can't be that hard to arrange.

Just a simple paragraph – Buckley did this and that 'wrong' – here is a list of the regulations which were busted. It shouldn't take too long – CASA must have that list.

Toot – toot..
