The fallout from Lockhart is ridiculous and unnecessary, much similar to Pelair. Going back to Lockhart, Mr Barnes was correct in his analysis. The ATSB investigation was correct in its entirety. The ATSB basically said CAsA stuffed up with its piss-poor oversight of Transair, and that obviously includes some of CAsA's employees and by default includes I-Ron-bar and his mate the Submarine. Pelair is no different. The ATSB should have pulverised CAsA for its part in the accident for being a contributing factor, but instead the ATSB chose to bend over and allow itself to be anally violated by the Regulator. Naughty naughty.
The autonomy and independence of the ATSB, by it's nature, is and should be maintained. There was no need for post Lockhart 2010 hugs and kisses and reach-arounds between the two alphabet soup agencies. CAsA was a causal factor and the ATSB noted that in its report. Great work ATSB, choccy frogs for you. Unfortunately CAsA cried like a baby and the Mandarins in Government hit the cover-up button, the rest is history and the Dr Voodoo/Pumpkin Head/Chairman Hawke MOPOOH was born.
My advice is if one wishes to examine how the 'relationship' should actually work, look back to 2005. Even better, look at the FAA and the NTSB, you won't see those two organisations dry humping each other or indulging in spit swapping!
"Perhaps I-Ron-bar and L.Ron Hubbard are one and the same"??
