Please. Somebody, tackle this Fool.
If I could be bothered to dig it out, there is a long list which itemises government funded ‘reviews’ and ‘inquiries’ and ‘investigations’ into matters aeronautical. There is one from the Senate, way back, which, I believe, still holds the record for being the longest, deepest, most detailed: some fantastic amount of time and money was spent to sort it out, once and for all. The list is now long, and growing. The costs fabulous, the results negligible. Proof absolute of many things, but the stand out constant is simple enough to understand. THEY DON’T WORK. It is a repetitive cycle, the same moves, the same result, every time.
But, for those who may be new to the great game; or, have only just become aware that perhaps there really is something rotten in Denmark; allow me to draw your attention to events in recent memory.
Pel-Air ditched an aircraft; the Senate SC called an ‘inquiry’, which ran for quite a while. It cost a small fortune, in effort, time and money and produced two major items of interest. To wit, scathing condemnation of both the ATSB and CASA; and, some 30 odd serious recommendations.
Following the SSC inquiry, the good Rev. Forsyth and his compardres set out on an ‘independent’ quest to determine what could be done for ‘best’. It cost a small fortune in effort, time and money and produced two major items of interest. Scathing condemnation of both the ATSB and CASA; and, some 30 odd serious recommendations.
As a result the Canadian TSB were asked to conduct an ‘independent’ peer review. It cost a small fortune in effort, time and money, and produced – you guessed it – Yup more condemnation and more recommendations.
Now, look about you; let’s call it 80, serious, expensive, far reaching recommendations; from independent ‘expert’ sources; bought and paid for by the ‘tax-payer’. Then on one hand count the number of tangible results from those inquiries and resultant recommendations. I’ll save you the brain work – there ain’t any. Not one single solitary improvement in any god damned area; in fact things have actually regressed.
Now this idiot who has managed to escape his village – or lost it; wants to pull on another ‘inquiry’ or a ‘review’ as he calls it. It is a calculated, cynical insult to a fine Senate Standing Committee, David Forsyth, the industry and the long suffering over taxed public. The announcement insults the intelligence, demeans industry and put’s a final confirmation to the notion that Chester and his trough buddy are taking the Mickey Bliss (and the money)…
Chester needs to get his advice right – it is not just industry having the piss taken out of them; he is the final victim, because who ever is advising him is definitely taking the piss from him. He who laugh’s last is Chester’s advisor. Chester is as dumb as dog pooh, NFI and relies heavily, pathetically on ‘advice’. The last thing his ‘advisors’ must do before going to sleep is have a good laugh at his expense. Me, if I thought about it that way, I’d laugh too.
Pathetic response from a pathetic individual, the man should be making advertorials and flogging off the latest in ‘product’ on the morning TV shows; not be responsible for a huge, important portfolio. When he can find a hole in a whorehouse, with a spotlight, I may even spare a thought for his ‘advised’ mouthing’s; ‘till then, I shall continue to regard him as a fool. The village idiot at large.
Toot –FFS– toot.
