Noel,
You are right. Unfortunately most of the aviation
organisations in Australia including CASA and
GFA, or CASA-GFA as CASA has bought GFA lock
stock and barrel for a pittance, seem to operate by these rules:
Organisations and Conferences
* Insist on doing everything through
channels. Never permit short-cuts to be taken
in order to expedite decisions.
* Make speeches. Talk as frequently as
possible and at great length. Illustrate your
points by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
* When possible, refer all matters to
committees, for further study and
consideration. Attempt to make the committee as
large as possible never less than five.
* Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
* Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
* Refer back to matters decided upon at the
last meeting and attempt to re-open the question
of the advisability of that decision.
* Advocate caution. Be reasonable and
urge your fellow-conferees to be reasonableand
avoid haste which might result in embarassments or difficulties later on.
Managers
* In making work assignments, always sign out
the unimportant jobs first. See that important
jobs are assigned to inefficient workers.
* Insist on perfect work in relatively
unimportant products; send back for refinishing
those which have the least flaw.
* To lower morale and with it, production, be
pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions.
* Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
* Multiply the procedures and clearances
involved in issuing instructions, pay checks, and
so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.
Employees
* Work slowly.
* Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can.
* Do your work poorly and blame it on bad
tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that
these things are preventing you from doing your job right.
* Never pass on your skill and experience to
a new or less skillful worker.

Today, at Gawler, we celebrated the life of a
highly respected member of the international
community of aviators who began his first flying steps with the ASC.
After completion of ceremonies a large group of
professional pilots gathered and discussed the
woeful situation CASA has forced us into.
It was apparent there was a common failing
both within CASA and the industry.
That is there is no display of common-sense by either group.
The world competition governance have refuted that in Soaring Spot.
Google it and youll find results of all soaring comps.

There is this amazing thing called Google. I
just put in "Australian National gliding
Championships 2016" and the 5th hit was Soaring Spot with the links.
