And we will wait while someone at the ACMA or DOC devises a response that the Minister will then authorise to be sent under his signature back to Chris 4YE... and hopefully extended on to us after that.
Some very valid points were made in Chris' letter but I suspect that the matter will end up in the 'too hard' basket. Too hard to force the AMC to comply with Deed compliance. Too hard to change back from the AMC to the WIA. Possibly even too hard to think about in these troubled political times. And, let's face it : The AMC-ACMA Deed is for a 5 year period and that makes it hard to remove except for non-compliance and would the extended current delay be enough of a trigger to terminate the Deed?
One thought that does come to mind is that there has recently been a rumour of a squabble after the WIA released their Foundation questions on their web site and the AMC became upset because they were the same questions that they had adopted - instead of creating their own question banks. Maybe the AMC 'person' is too busy with that task (new question banks) to process applications, papers, and allocate callsigns ?????
Will we ever know why the AMC delays have blown out ? Unlikely, commercial-in-confidence.
We can hope it will get better soon, but don't hold your breath.
