Mr Dolan : We thought it was more effective to ask Airservices to take a look at the tapes and to provide us with their view as to whether there had been a loss of separation assurance.

Farmer: “Looks like something got into the hen coop last night; slaughtered some of our best birds”.  “Could you just pop in there and see what happened, perhaps suggest a solution?”

Fox: “Certainly Farmer, leave it up to me; you run along and have your breakfast”.

Not even my aging, giddy Aunt would believe Beaker, not for a second.  ASA have some serious, deep seated problems; the Repcon system proves it; the ATCO know it, which is why they make the reports (or don’t out of fear and or frustration), but jolly old Beaker is happy to have those who created the mess investigate that mess and report back to him.  His own in-house’ expert (singular) is starved of information and told not to worry about it. FFS.

Mr Dolan : Possibly. It would need to be done by someone with air traffic control experience so that they could understand it, and we have a range of priorities that we have got our limited air traffic control expertise focused on.  This is a matter of the management of limited resources.

And yet a mere 50 millions is conjured out of thin air, so Beaker can play nice with the Malaysians, who also seem to have adopted the Beyond all Reason method of playing at silly buggers with air investigation.  What a pair, Pel-Air for a warm up to the MH 370 event.

Aye, aberrations for all until they come back to haunt, then it will be Abbotations all around.  Good thing they’re all too busy fussing with coabbotation to see a real election issue in the making.

Australia, a land where gender confusion takes precedence over aluminium rain.  Well, as Thorny says, “at least we can still drink the water”.

Toot (FCOL) toot.
