winsor68 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 "THE United States was so concerned about the state of Australia's air safety system in 2009 that it considered freezing flights from Australia to the US, a downgrade that normally only affects countries from the developing world." http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/safety-fears-came-close-to-freezing-air-route-20110831-1jm4y.html
kaz3g Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Be interesting to see if the Irish comedian manages to laugh this one off (no offence to the irish intended). kaz
Gnarly Gnu Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 the big Q has been going downhill since it hit the stockexchange and Ansett... Read the article cficare, this is an indictment of CASA, not the airlines themselves.
Wayne T Mathews Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 GG is right guys. It is an indictment of CASA, not the airlines. And/But it happened in 2009. The last three sentences of the SMH article are food for thought. Me thinks they might be doing something about it... And fair enough,,, good on them. "CASA has been criticised for delegating too much of its regulatory obligations to the flight carriers in the past and the FAA audit may have been the last straw. In the 2010 budget, the government announced a large funding increase for CASA. The FAA audit may also help explain why CASA was so severe when cracking down on Tiger earlier this year."
Wayne T Mathews Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 its hard to explain most things CASA does.....other than react to the mood of the pollies.... You sinnick, you.
Guest ozzie Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 And as soon as the FAA went home CASA went back to what they were doing to attract their attention in the first place. Reading about this subject elswhere it sounded like the FAA just wanted to shut CASA down. Sort of gives one a warm glow to know that CASA can have their ass kicked. CASA can BS to the Govt and us but they can't BS Uncle Sam. The FAA will be back.
Ultralights Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Casa need to be made accountable for their decisions before they can improve. Stop the internal politics and get on with their job of PROMOTING safer aviation, not punishing everyone and giving no recourse 2
Yenn Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 CASA seem to think that to make aviation safer they need to keep altering the rules. So far it hasn't worked.
