It is simply untrue and if you are not bright enough to understand that then please... Go back to wherever your ancestors were forced out of by economic hardship and leave my country alone.

I consider the original post and the following posts to be inappropriate, uncalled-for, disturbing, un-respectful, unjust, unfriendly, considerably rude, provoking, harassing and disturbing and very uncalled for... especially considering there are members here such as our own Solomon who recently undertook some flight training with Motz... To claim that this young man and his family are sponges or claiming more than they should... or are somehow living it up in luxury after the horrors they endured in order to provide a better economic future for their future generations of Australians... It makes me sick.

If you mob can't play nice together the thread gets locked.....

I think the only experience GG and his ilk have with any of this is what they watch on "A Current Affair"...

Written by Bob Katter my Arxe... And by the way not even Bob Katter speaks so fluently as this stolen and oft repeated Tea Party Nutjob story... Are you really all that gullible?

Because ignorance is not OK. GET IT!

I worship the King of Far...

Read the facts... if you come back with the same rubbish do the rest of humanity a favour and give yourself a good slap to try and get some sense into you...

I agree Metalman -if you don't like this kind of humour don't read it. ! I'm a bit sick and tired of being told what I can and can't say.

And while its all good and fair to trust in your own beliefs when they exist at the expense of another based upon racist untruths it is crossing a line... legally and morally.

The problem as I see it is with the aviation industry in Oz as a whole... I am certainly no expert but I have recently earned my pilot certificate with Ra-AUS and I have worked in the aviation industry for a few years now... CASA doesn't want the responsibility of caretaking any aviation activity in Australia... they are lazy and have just set up their version of speed cameras to add to revenue and left the operational regulation up to the participants... sadly in RPT as in GA and RA the self auditing has been made a total mockery of if its been done at all(as it seems in the case of Ra-AUS for the last couple of years... just my opinion based upon my experiences.

This is so OFFENSIVE in so many ways... You should be ashamed of yourself.

Constructive criticism...

Given that CASA has recently audited Ra-Aus... I would ask Ra-Aus to show me their records showing the past and ongoing auditing they have undertaken of the commercial operations they have been tasked with overseeing on behalf of CASA... shouldn't be too hard but then again given the enormous growth over the last few years it may take a bit of effort.

Personally... I think we can get on the phone and scream all we want... my feeling is that we need to be realistic here and accept that Ra-Aus operations dropped the ball big time... and that they have some work to do in order to prove they can be trusted with it for the future...

Ouch alright! Looks like he was trying to park her a bit high...

Use your phone...?

If I'm ever playing in a big band and there's a lightning storm around, I know I'll be right, because the conductor is out the front!

Seriously- This country is turning into $h*&, what ever happened to the old days, when a person tripped over on a crack in a foot path.Brushed themselves off.Thought to themselves how stupid THEY where for not seeing the crack and falling over .Or slipping over on a wet floor in a supermarket whilst wearing crappy footwear . Or hurting themselves in sport.Nobody got sued etc.I have had my fair share of come offs on motorcross and enduro bikes when racing around when younger.Eg- I passed a bloke on a XR600,(Me on a Yamaha WR426) then out braked him at the next corner, about 10 metres in front of us,he smashed into me. Next thing his bike is on top of me whilst I was sliding down the track. I called him a wanker, but I wasnt going to sue him There seems to be a bunch panzies being brought up in this world today. Here is a hint- If worried about getting hurt in anything, sport you play or general day to day life.It maybe safer the stay at home in a padded room.

Last Saturday evening we had a extremely severe thunderstorm in Mackay... the 7 year old daughter was petrified and spent a good hour sitting on me holding on for dear life... lol. I taught her to count the flash bangs to comfort her as it moved away...

The next morning we watched some YouTube Weather videos my reasoning being that an understanding of how Lightning and Thunder are formed would help alleviate her fears...We learnt all about positive and negative charges and moving air masses so it was all good and educational for us both.

That afternoon her Uncle dropped around and I told him about her fright during the precious evenings storm but it was ok now because she had learnt all about where Thunder comes from... "And where is that...?"he asked.

"It's the sound of the hammers in Santa's Elves workshop"she told him.... So I guess YouTube has it all wrong... Sigh.

Someone lost the plot...

My recent experience with WH&S in Qld certainly points to a need for some sort of harmonization... there is a lot of confusion and compliance issues in small business it seems. Let's hope the application (assuming they are compelled to apply the rules!)does not prove too onerous on them.

It seems that the BIG issue here is not having too few rules and regulations but a lack of proper auditing and compliance with the framework that already exists.

Ra-Aus needs a G(lider) endo... there are a few good Lsa registerable motorgliders that would make good mounts for all the ex GFA CFI's amongst the current instructor ranks...?
