Now watch again the '$89 million bucket' video (above). Anyone else get the impression there was no love lost between the former DAS McComic and BC

Indeed. The Screamer disliked Ben because the only people who count, in the Screamers eyes, are fellow Widebody pilots. On top of that, Ben’s ability to actually look at issues such as fatigue and human factors also upset Herr Fuhrer Skull, who much preferred to point a finger and just say ‘guilty as charged’. The Skull was not into the modern James Reason approach in which root cause and causal factors looked beneath the surface. Not our man Skull, his methodology was simply ‘blame the prick behind the yoke or the grease monkey who fixed the fucking plane’. Ben grew tired of the charade, asked for more coin, they said no, Ben said ‘up yours’. The rest, as they say is history. Ben went on to better things and Australian aviation and CAsA were worse off when he departed........ But don’t worry, Aleck is still there, as are other members of the Iron Ring.
