Hood – Should, Could and did not. Why?????????
O’Sofullofit; fails, utterly (as usual) by stepping around the glaring, basic issues. Perhaps he should take a slightly broader view, in particular, the complete disregard CASA have continually demonstrated in relation the ‘safety recommendations’ offered by ATSB. It is quite a history and those who are not totally across the subject matter should spend a little time getting familiar. I know P2 is delving deeply into various matters in an attempt to discern why CASA have thrown up a huge smoke screen, using AF as their whipping boy to excuse their past dismissal of ATSB (pre Hood) and Coroner recommendations as suggestions only. Despite O’Sofullofit’ continual, fatuous, repetitive claims to ‘understanding’ , experience and being full bottle on ‘investigations’ I say he needs to STDU and do his homework, rather than keep telling us what a whizz-bang safety guru he is. He ain’t – he’s either a very naughty boy; or, we need to question his ‘motivation’.
For example – this accident report – HERE – is important. It was crewed by ‘commercial pilots’ operating under a CASA ‘accepted’ system, duly licenced to conduct commercial operations in well maintained aircraft. Two ‘qualified’ pilots – overwhelmed and confounded by pretty standard conditions for the NT, in an aircraft type which has been a stalwart veteran of NT operations. Why has CASA not upped the ante on this little performance; starting with ‘statistics’ and under laying cause and effect?
The AF debacle is a smoke screen; Essendon was an important event; Ross Air was an important event; the Braz was an important event; the Coal Loader event at Newcastle was an important event; the Virgin / Qantas episode was an important event; the ATR was an important event; the Swan river crash was an important event – must I go on? WTD are we wasting time, money and effort on here; Angel Flight deaths? It’s a total Bollocks. Safety as ‘we’ (the industry) have understood it – operationally – is going to Hell in a hand cart – CASA is driving – Hood is pushing and the Devil is working the whip. Will someone , anyone please put the brakes on this lunacy.
Something in Denmark stinks to the high heavens;
No – no thank you dear heart – I’ll walk home now; fresh air and quiet needed more than one for the road. Ale and disgust is not a happy mix.
