Wot Fred said:
What, exactly, is Fred trying to say? Does he, himself know?
“There have been discussions on whether or not CASA should exercise some discretion in the application of the ATPL conditions and, if so, what would a suitable assessment look like.”
What it should look like is one of a long list of compensation cheques and apologies; that’s what. Attached to those should be a list of CASA personnel; retiring to spend more time with their families or; helping Her Majesty’s number plate or rock pile stocks grow.
Preceding this course of action a sincere apology and plea for leniency should be delivered to the Senate; along with a solemn promise to never, ever again attempt a snow job of this magnitude.
Carmody could then go on television and offer an apology to the Australian people for the gross waste of time and money squandered on the Pel-Air inquiry – and why. He could even top that off with an explanation of how almost incredible amounts of money have been wasted on the regulatory reform process to provide one of the most useless rule sets known to the aviation world.
The minister could then step up to deliver a simple two year plan to bring in a rule set from overseas which will solve many of the problems created through gross negligence, blind ignorance, unparalleled arrogance and malicious intent. While he’s ‘on camera’ he could offer a sweetener – to assuage the anger; a judicial inquiry to examine the closure of several business enterprises during the McCormack era.
There you go Fred – one of your small problems solved, a side benefit will be a much clearer understanding of your own crew and what they get up to – not what’s reported – but in real life. There’s a handy yardstick for you – would the real Qantas have had people like this working for the company? You know they wouldn’t.
The above is all whimsy and fantasy – what will happen is subtle pressure will be brought to Dom’s employer – the threat of a Chambers style 'negative audit' (not the Pel-Air version) – where every comma and full stop can be transmogrified into a criminal charge; after ‘key personnel’ are culled by another Campbell/De Marco/ Worthington stitch up. The opening words along the lines of "there's a lot of shit coming down - most of it heading your way" (Worthington paraphrased). Whispers on the wind indicate that the knives are already being sharpened.
There are only a few basic questions which must be answered once the Pel-Air report is released; just a few, probably less than a dozen. But answers to those questions must be publicly provided; if Carmody fails to do that – we will.
The great Joe Louis once said, “He can run, but he can’t hide”. You Sir, are deeply involved, by default, in a very serious bout: the law and logic not boxing gloves the weapons, the Senate committee rooms the arena, not Madison Square garden. But you get the picture.
