“Yes – but, Ma'am you did design it.”
A common enough response, people have preconceived notions about 'how' the finished product should look – they do. I have noted that the more notions and expectations are 'fed in' by 'other folks' the more likely the disappointment button is to be pushed. Horses designed by committees come to mind; or , in aviation terms – 'What the pilots wanted'.
Reading through the 'GWEP' (great white Elephant paper) you can see a canvas which has had many different hands, styles and even messages to paint; one on top the other until what should have been a neat, tidy, helpful 'map for the future has devolved into a chaos of conflicting mud pies. It is a case where 1000 words have attempted to paint a picture; rather than t'uther way round.
Can't really blame the incumbent minuscule; its a short odds on bet her 'knowledge' and 'understanding' of matters aeronautical begins and ends with the Chairman's lounge menu. No reason for it to be otherwise; outside the inner sanctum there is a huge army of folk, all earning top dollar, who are supposed to be able to get things running smoothly; lest the minuscule become an embarrassment to the nation and the industry served. Alas......
All is well – right up to the end of the shift; then the shocking truths must be camouflaged. Senate Estimates must be confounded and await answers to QoN which contain little of substance but a great wallop of arse covering obfuscation. There's so much of this that it is impossible to pick the shit from the shineola. The response has, historically, always been to employ more, pay more, divert, diffuse, consult, consider, re visit and then achieve sweet sod all in the way of sorting out the lingering problems created through this long established process. The final insult to a struggling industry is the hire of 'top dogs', trained in the game – folks like like Spence; Halfwit, the Popinjay and Betsy.
Believe it or not Minuscule; there really are real folks out there in real the world (some even here at home) who are 'true' experts and could save this nation a fortune and even get aviation off the bones of its collective arse and flourish; maybe even earn a few bob.
But no matter; you have brought in yet another White paper; which signifies nothing except that the 'system' is working well and completely self protected. You may rightly be proud of that singular achievement. Ayup; no doubt about it.
Toot – vomit – toot – vomit- toot, toot toot...........
