Why cant Tiger fly into Adelaide?
Why cant Tiger fly into Adelaide?
Tiger have a statement saying both Avalon and Adelaide bases are temporarily closing, once they get approval from CASA for more flights I am sure their destinations beyond Sydney and Melbourne will once again become Tiger operated.
I think Adelaide is a bit more than a temporary closure.

But how do you test the competency of CASA? This whole debacle demonstrates to me that they are:
1. incompetent
2. overstaffed, if they can drop everything else to crucify a foreign-owned business
3. totally not independent (they just do the Govt's dirty business).
I'll be monitoring the performance of CASA rather than Tiger.

I was umming and arrring about replying, but here goes.It doesn't demonstrate any of this at all, the regulator looks at the Act, the rules, regulations, airline safety management systems and tests compliance for non conformance. The fact that Tiger was grounded doesn't indicate CASA is overstaffed and dropped doing anything else to chase Tiger. What it indicates is there was evidence of non conformance in the safety system that was systemic, it also indicates Tiger could not provide evidence it could effectively correct the problems and at the same time continue to fly. Nobody is stopped from flying (or operating a train) for a single breech, there has to be a trend and areas of concern and evidence of gaps. Say the 2009 audit picked up something minor, then in 2010 the same issue hadn't been resolved so it goes from minor to major, then in 2011 it's still not fixed and you have a non conformance report showstopper. I myself do safety management system audits in the rail sector, the points you raise are issues I've never seen in any Govt transport safety regulators office.I gould go on for hours, perhaps sometime over a beer might be better.

The question is... is it the people, or is it the system? I guess we'll find out soon enough...Well after what's transpired with systemic training failures, as cited by CASA, who would want them?
