Stray thoughts
Or, whimsy from the workshop. I expect it has happened to most; involved in a routine task, mind at 'idle' when a stray thought creeps in, one worth exploring. I had spent a fair part of the previous day wading through the massive amount of 'correspondence' between Buckley and various agencies, trying to get down the core of the debacle; the root cause. Always a challenge, even with less complex issues than the Buckley conundrum. Anyway, I let the thought line ramble away, stray notions and half baked ideas included; got nowhere. Well, not to a definitive conclusion at least.
But: one notion stuck fast and (IMO) worth a mention - I reckoned it worth a post (FWIW). Way back, at the start of the Buckley troubles there was ample time and scope for 'avoidance' of the current situation. So, why did it all turn to worms? Let's fairly suppose that CASA had discovered 'problems' with some of Buckley's stuff as it approached final approval. Legal and or operational impediments to the approval being issued. What then?
It is fair and reasonable to expect that a meeting be arranged, a meeting where Buckley was calmly and carefully walked through the road blocks, the barriers clearly defined and explained, until Buckley fully understood the impediments. A benevolent administrator may even suggest some 'work -a round's to set the ship back on course. Then, armed with a full appreciation of 'why' his approval could not be issued - as matters stood; then he could set to work, re-jig the hard spots and resubmit the proposal, sans the sticking points.
Perhaps I missed the paperwork relating to a conference of this kind; the paperwork lost withing the mountains of correspondence; but I cannot find notes or mention of a 'sit-down' to sort out 'Why' his application was summarily dismissed. Passing strange it seems; green lights all the way; then - all stop. Aye, as presented 'tis a puzzle.
I shall ask Buckley about this, perhaps there exists a brief from CASA which explains and expands the 180 turn about; for if there is such an animal, I (for one) would like to read it.
Toot - toot..
