Guernsey Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It looks as though it has already been kicked many times as it has several teeth missing. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmccarthy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Fill in the on line CASA survey and give them the score they deserve. Just More Skidmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafs64 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 To change my OLD GFPT over to a RPL I found out that I have to do an English test. but I don't need one if I don't use a radio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafs64 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Fill in the on line CASA survey and give them the score they deserve. Just More Skidmarks. already done that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm flat out trying to recall when they were regarded so poorly. THAT english test is to hear people who can't speak English without a heavy accent. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 drop an email to [email protected] and skip the survey, the survey is designed to prove that CASA is tops and doing a bonza job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's not how YOU sound. I think it's about those people who phone up wanting to sell you solar. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgmwa Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm flat out trying to recall when they were regarded so poorly. THAT english test is to hear people who can't speak English without a heavy accent. Nev Yes, I thought it would be a bit of a joke when I did my test. No so! Some of those recorded accents they have you decipher are not so easy. A lot of overseas students train around the Jandakot area, and they are often hard to understand on the radio even when you more or less know what they are trying to say. Not their fault. It must be very difficult to train in a foreign country. rgmwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 CASA "We're not happy till you're not happy" Now add. "Someone else's problem is now yours". You couldn't make up this stuff. You can't understand bad english so YOU don't fly. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I must be the only person who has never had an issue with CASA... Everytime I have had to call them they have been extremely helpful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Talk to people in the Industry, if you want to know more. I'm not saying the people on the end of the phone are Aliens. They just work in the system. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausfly_68 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Seems to be a lot of inconsistent information. When I phoned I was told I just needed to submit form 61-9TX to transfer from my CAR 5 GFPT ,which already included Flight Radio Licence. I did so and next correspondence from them was my RPL arriving in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 CASA are absolutely not interested in anything to do with safety they just satisfy their own interests ! Casa has proven over and over again that it is slow and incapable of serving the aviation community, it can only destroy it ! Australia is no longer the lucky country ! It supports government departments that suck the life out of viable businesses, a buisness owner has to work and be competitive to survive ! Government departments just put up their charges and by law we have to pay it ! Don't kick the cat , write on casa feedback and tell them they are a waste of time, space, oxygen and need to change their ways ! I'm totally sick of casa and I think they are sick of me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add local councils to that list. Pen pushers clocking time till retirement. Couldn't give a rats about their own community development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Peri is from CASA Lol. Does CASA even have an office in Brisbane? Last time I worked for government I bailed at the 4 month mark, the guys I worked with were ok, but the management was woeful. I was subcontracted in there from my then employer (Microsoft) so I had to quit a job with fairly reasonable amount of future potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did so and next correspondence from them was my RPL arriving in the mail. Maybe casa use ex Telstra call centre employees. if they don't know how to help you they will tell you it is impossible or get you to do something totally irrelevant to your original enquiry or transfer you to someone else in a department that has nothing to do with what you want. I find the best way is to hang up and ring back and keep doing that until you get someone who actually knows what they are on about. As for the English test, it isn't the only thing that reeks stupidity in the system. (Now that was a civilised comment!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
