Fort Fumble White Hats; plus a thread drift? -   

Was reading the Flight Safety article on this latest abomination of a ATSB topcover report - see HERE - and basically it was like the others (Oz Aviation, Creedy) following the party line - nothing to see here, move along...   

Where the CASA White Hats totally lost me was when they included the following Hooded Canary propaganda quote:  

 ‘This serious incident demonstrates aircraft and aircraft systems need to be designed in anticipation of and tolerant to foreseeable inadvertent pilot actions. Aviation safety regulators and aircraft manufacturers need to address previously unforeseen aircraft design consequences during the operational life of an aircraft type.’

     
Where's the bucket Ol'Tom - 
In my mind this begs the question on why the White Hats even bothered? Then I read some of the comments which included these comments:

   Five years to produce this is a disgrace! We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for being so inept, but I guess this is Australia, a country not known to do anything efficiently or effective !

   Interesting that there is so much focus on the mechanical damage, and very little on the management failure that created the situation leading to damage. Surely the need for formal handover of control should have been emphasised? How many times will we keep seeing incidents arising from poor cockpit management and culture?

And I thought maybe there is a method in their madness and so I included a comment on behalf of P9 - i.e his last post   
For the record, just in case it gets taken down:  https://www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/20...mment-2274

How things have changed? - NOT!
Now for a bit of a thread drift that I believe underlies the seriousness of this bollocks report.   
Over on the twitter-sphere yesterday I made the following reply to a tweet thread:  

2/2...read this 2014 @PlaneTalking (RIP Ben) article: https://blogs.crikey.com.au/planetalking...australia/ … &/or RT https://twitter.com/PAIN_NET1/status/456322171229306880 … then ask yourself what's changed. I would argue that it has only gotten worse: RT https://twitter.com/PAIN_NET1/status/113...1039585280 … & https://auntypru.com/forum/showthread.ph...1#pid10321 … + https://twitter.com/fishonoodle/status/1...5998066688 … #auspol

 
You can backtrack to understand the context if you like: ref - https://twitter.com/PAIN_NET1/status/113...6497699840

However my point in rehashing the 5 year old Ben Sandilands article (may he RIP -   ) is very much relevant timeline wise and in context with the point that Ben so clearly made way back then...  
 

"..The risks of ministerial administrative capture need to be shut down in Australia, before they become the focus of a Royal Commission into a preventable disaster.."

Right then thread drift over...err maybe?
