CAA Should Apologise And Desist
Monday, 27 August 2001, 2:05 pm
Press Release: ACT New Zealand
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) should apologise to
pilots and doctors following the High Court decision that
their health checks were out of order, ACT Transport
Spokesman Penny Webster said today.
"The CAA must
apologise. They've subjected pilots to expensive and
worrisome medical checks, and besmirched the reputations of
doctors by questioning their work.
"This should be the end
of it. The standards that were being applied prior to all of
this were successful. We should return to the status quo,
and scrap the Bill before Parliament which would grant CAA
authority to perform these medical checks.
"The High Court
decision is a vindication for pilots and doctors, and should
send a clear message to CAA to desist," Penny Webster
said.
