LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation 1
2.102 The
committee recommends that the government develop regulations which would
require Air Operator's Certificate holders to submit a safety case to the
relevant authorities in CASA and the Department of Transport and Infrastructure
prior to making a formal decision to ground its fleet of aircraft.
Recommendation 2
2.103 The
safety of the travelling public should be the paramount concern for all
airlines and the grounding of the fleet should only be considered in the
interests of safety. The committee recommends that the Government consider
imposing financial penalties if it is proven that an Air Operator's Certificate
holder has cited 'safety concerns' without a valid reason.
Recommendation 3
3.22 The
committee recommends that the relevant government authority examines the
application of the Fair Work Act 2009, and the relevant modern awards,
for work carried out by foreign-based employees on Australian domestic flights
(particularly the domestic legs of international flights) in order to clarify
how the current regulatory regime applies to these workers and whether any
legislative changes are required.
Recommendation 4
3.23 The
committee recommends that the Air Navigation and Civil Aviation Amendment (Aircraft
Crew) Bill 2011 not be passed.
Recommendation 5
3.24 The
committee recommends that the Qantas Sale Amendment (Still Call Australia Home)
Bill 2011 not be passed.
