The whole culture in government or council controlled entities need to be completely reviewed, but its not going to be fixed as the issues stem from high work loads & tight deadlines (often doing the work of 2 - 3 people per person), lack of training of staff in completing their duties, and lack of actual coordination of staff to complete reviews or tasks. I have witnessed and been pushed out, along with many others who struggled in Council.

The CAA has been problematic for years. Even reports of drones flying illegally dangerously close to aircraft is met with a "we're not interested" reply. I feel for the good people that are still there, the few that remain. NZTA went through a similar toxic management situation not too many years ago. The cause seems to be politicians wanted great results and statistics rather than realistic results.
I applaud the whistleblowers, good on them, if you don't speak up nothing will change, and it needs to change in all Government departments, as it has been left to slide under the previous Government, so now's a time to improve under a new Government.
No we are not. Tourism industry is dependent on tourists, not me. Air lines are dependent on travellers, not me. You say "we" assuming I need tourists, wrong. Oh, and fix what exactly? The moaning sooks who cleary can't be trusted and breached their contracts by talking to media..or something else?
This is either a beat up by disgruntled employees and ex-employees, or there is substance to these serious allegations. The consequences of ignoring the second premise in a safety critical industry doesn't bear thinking about. There absolutely has to be an independent investigation.
the dude in the blue socks just lost his job because of you guys lol, when its people talking anonymously you should make sure that it can't be linked back to them.
The two aviation accidents they referred to were adventure tourism activities, a ballon flight and a parachuting flight. Nothing at all to do wth the airline industry yet all the images were of airliners. The airline industry is largely self regulating and has been for many decades.
Please tell me the close ups of clothing and bodies were not the actual whistle blowers, because that would make them easy to identify by their co-workers i.e. the very people you're trying to protect them from.
This story is very intense. Thank you for bringing it to the public’s attention! It’s not only Kiwi travellers but the myriad of International airlines could also be affected. Time to step into the light 💡!
Terrible! What these people accused CAA not competent for its job , happened to the journalists interviewed them, do you know how to keep them anonymous! Voice,socks,shoes all can be used to identify who they are by their colleagues!
Not a 'this Govt' thing as this has been a failing culture for many years. Major delays when submitting any compliance paperwork (like... a year of delays). Varying replies and answers with no consistency to the reply. No one is driving this dept...
This countries whole aviation industry is rooted. Basics like AKL Airport 90 minutes for luggage to arrive. Menzies Aviation are cowboys. Let alone, actual safety issues like this.
Two sides to every story. Easy to sling shit by name calling behind a curtain. MM needs to investigate the other side of this and do a proper job rather than causing people to jump to conclusions. Aviation is no different to any industry there are good and poor operators alike.
ICAO - but they will only audit if invited by CAANZ and it's for international civil aviation. For general aviation, CAANZ used to have "spot checks' and surveillance.
Interesting to hear. This should not be happening in this day and age. I have had my own experience along with many others at a certain govt dept. I left because of it, sold my house just so i could resign.
Workplace toxic environment is bad and can lead to many bad consequences but why was AVIATION SAFETY chosen for the heading? To get people interested and watch the video? This sort of sensationalism can give travelers anxiety
It’s a shock headline. Designed to spark more people to contact their MP to look 👀 into this. The more that do that around the country, the more likely the guvmint will have to do something.
In the world of aviation, almost everything relates to safety, culture included. If internal CAA employees can't voice their opinions without being punished, how are pilots going to feel when they need to report a near-accident? Non-punitive culture in aviation is crucial to fostering open reporting, allowing lessons to be learned before people die.
@@nuurushean9895 There is another page in this debate that relates to operators that do not affect the travelling public that deserves recognition. Some of us at the bottom of the heap have long been wary of CAA interface involving incidents that should be used for educational purposes and safety improvements. When you have the current director ,on record, stating that CAA will use enforcement as a method of education, I am reminded of the of the criteria to be described as a cult mentality.
It’s easy to make accusations from a bystander point of view. By all means have an independent view of the CAA. They’re not immune from internal politics that will disaffect some employees. In terms of safety we have Rules to operate within. Safety is an individual participant, Company, and Corporate, responsibility. The CAA cannot directly prevent an accident, we do our best to do that from a self preservation point of view. Caa audit and test pilots as well as Operators. Don’t dump on them without examining your/our prejudice and bias. Keep an open mind.
Great something is not right & needs to be fixed. An example of what constitutes harassment, an example of what is bullying, were are the explainations that should have accompanied the stories.😮
NZ is going through one bad thing after another…it looks like people who genuinely want things to change for the betterment of kiwis need to step in … including at Govt level
Why did you not protect these brave women and men’s identities? Their clothing will be easy for their boss’s to identify each and everyone of them…. You failed to protect these employees from being targeted and fired eventually if not already!
The staff and management force out competent ppl should be investigated to a high degree including finances and inappropriate associations. At this point they should be stood down with zero work place connection. All sounds strangely familiar to what’s going on with the Aussie aviation authority and it’s definitely not in the public’s interest
One sided. Overly dramatized. Not a single shred of actual evidence, which is odd in an age of cell phone cameras. Just a random piece of paper that lists how many complaints have been made. That buzzword word "toxic" being used over and over screams special snowflake, and those are the sorts of people who will make endless complaints at the drop of a hat. So, sorry, I'm not buying it. Not until I see some actual evidence and some actual journalism. Also, it's very hard to connect what these people are saying to actual aircraft safety. Is the CAA trying to do some sort of Erebus coverup? Or are the higher ups just sick of listening to endless complaints made by the most entitled generation that has ever lived? Hard for the public to decide when you only report one side of the story.
@dimvoly Solution: bring up resilient young people prepared to work hard, and ensure the employment legislation does not encourage trivial complaints.
The corporate world what a joke! It's all about people's feelings in the work-place getting hurt, so since it's the CAA let's turn it into a "potential safety issue" instead, harden up and do your job will ya.
I thought the reporter said CAA is a government agency. Why do they have a CEO? I thought CEO is more apt for corporations. Maybe thats where the confusion lies. Is a corporate body or government body? Their interests are mutually exclusive. Corporations are only interested in the line going up (at any cost, including toxic workplace, shortcuts, unrealistic goals) where as governmental agency is beholden to tax payers, i.e public.
The CEO title is corporate but the title under the Civil Aviation Act 1990 Section 72(I) is Director of Civil Aviation tasked with the functions and powers under the Act or rules and regulations made under the Act.
CEO of CAA and Avsec is the Director of Civil Aviation under legislation. CAA itself is a board that hires the Director. The Director then runs the actual organization itself.
Workplace harassment and bullying leading to the good people quitting, leading to poor performance of the organization as a whole. If you've ever worked a day in your life you'd understand.
@@RicktheRecorder Sure. But if you have a proper process for resolving the conflict, then you should be able to weed out the lazies from the genuine complaints.
Another story? This is different from bullying issue? It was not like that when CAA was in the Aviation House in Petone. It used to be a good workplace. Staff were respected by the NZ and international aviation industry. The ICAO safety audit report was impressive. they used to have a Just Culture which was introduced in 2006 or 2007.
CAA are the worst bureaucrats possible. A cleanout has been necessary for years and now it's happening. The staff complaints are merely the whining of the pointless nobodies who face inevitable redundancy. For balance, MM should interview the victims of CAA bureaucracy - the airline pilots and owners. They would give him a much different story. Poor journalism.
It's poor journalism because it's biased reporting. They didn't actually point towards any specific safety issues just personal grievance complaints. I'm inclined to agree with the OP on this one. It wasn't balanced with any interviews with anyone other than former or current staff. @@dimvoly
@@cheeseburger3209 OK. However, the OP said, go talk to the pilots and owners about their opinion of the CAA bureaucracy. This wasn't about CAA bureaucracy issues, it was about workplace harassment/bullying. They cited the logged incidents, and you have a group of insiders speaking out against it. I'd agree that it would've been good to get the CEO's opinion on camera too for more balance.
@@dimvoly it would have been good if they gave a little more specificity about the details of the complaints too. It showed that they had spent money on Lawyers. But no details about payouts for personal greivances or anything like that. So maybe the complaints have little substance.
The two accidents referred to were adventure tourism activities, a ballon flight piloted by a stoner and a parachuting flight. Nothing to do with the airline industry yet all the images were of airliners. The airline industry world wide is largely self regulating and has been for decades. This is very poor journalism.
Yes, but if you bothered to listen to the report, there's a culture of voluntary near miss reporting that is being eroded. The airline industry world wide is not largely self-regulating, each country has their own flavour of CAA. This is good journalism and should be encouraged.
@@dimvoly Other than China state regulatory bodies do little more than audit and approve airline company management systems. Airlines have their own safety reporting systems and if a report meets certain criteria the regulator is then informed.
@@hamsternuggetz I know they were examples and they were shocking but they hav nothing to do with the airline industry as the video was trying to portray. As few people go ballooning or parachuting no one much cares about it, but depict the problem as endangering thousands of air travellers and they get views.
Do you really think you've done enough to mask these brave people's identities? Socks, shoes, body shapes, even their idiolect? I think you could've done much more to better protect them.
I thought journalism had been totally decimated since the covid. Good reporting. In addition to the story could be an investigation into cardiac events (and other issues) from the covid jabs with pilots , and then why not extend this to the general population. And the comments are switched on, I've not seen that for years!
A reporter for the NZ Herald can hardly call himself a journalist. The media is compromised. As for reporting concerns about CAA safety, whilst video interviewing himself WHILST DRIVING! 🤦🏻♂️

Who has died as a result of the CAA?
Balloon incident could have been avoided with spot checks
Oh how dramatic.. Way to fearmonger the public out of flying
I thought journalism had been totally decimated since the covid. Good reporting. In addition to the story could be an investigation into cardiac events (and other issues) from the covid jabs with pilots , and then why not extend this to the general population.
And the comments are switched on, I've not seen that for years!
It sounds like identity politics in the work place. It’s the anti-Midas.
A reporter for the NZ Herald can hardly call himself a journalist. The media is compromised. As for reporting concerns about CAA safety, whilst video interviewing himself WHILST DRIVING! 🤦🏻♂️
