If I recall correctly the TV show This Day Tonight some time ago hauled CASA over the coals for turning a blind eye to many Qantas indescretions that included amongst other things substandard work being performed on Qantas jets at overseas facilities. When put to a CASA spokesman the question " why was this wiring repair done with a common household staple ?" his reply was " are you trying to pretend that every organisation in the world is perfect ". This Day Tonight further accused CASA of covering for Qantas. The vid is on the internet for download and I personally found it to be very insightful of the CASA Qantas relationship. It would not suprise me in the least if it came to light that Tigers grounding may be more political/Qantas domestic profit related than a stated safety matter.
