Quote:Okay we are now only a matter of weeks out from the '15-'16 Budget Estimates - & from an Australian perspective our government has committed millions more dollars(??) & resources to the planned expanded MH370 search area in the SIO. As Brock McEwan states...
Quote:"...But the time is long past due for grassroots ACTION – not mere complaining about search conduct, nor bickering amongst ourselves. We must direct our questions re: holes in the official story to those who have actually MADE the holes – in this case, primarily agencies of the Australian government, whether puppets or not. If we ask hard pointedly enough, they’ll have to give up who they’re shilling for.
And then we’ll ask THEM the questions. And so on, until we get the ANSWERS.
Eventually, we’ll get to someone who knows something – no matter WHAT flag they wave...
..The ATSB has misled us, and misdirected the search. Repeatedly. It is time for the general public to whom they are accountable (you and your compatriots) to bring them in for further questioning. Even if they’re a patsy, intense questioning will prove very useful.
Don’t think of it as damning Eisenhower for Kennedy’s sins – think of it as grilling Dean to get to Nixon..."
...it is in the Australian public/taxpayer interest that the many outstanding questions (that he and many others) have put to the ATSB (that so far are being continuously obfuscated or blatantly ignored) be answered.
IMO the RRAT Committee Senate Estimates is the perfect forum to get these answers. And from last Estimates with the attendance of Mr Peter Foley (Program Director, Operational Search for MH370) it would appear that the powers to be were expecting more QONs to be asked. As it was Foley only gave a very limited update to the MH370 search:
Refer - ATSB Hansard 24/02/15 or...
So in order to facilitate the many pointed questions that the many concerned & intelligent individuals have in regards to the ATSB managed search for MH370 in the SIO, PAIN is happy to collate any offered QON and forward the same to the RRAT Committee Senators best equipped to ask the right questions. No guarantees, but we promise to try.
Anyone who wishes to pose a question to the ATSB on the MH370 SIO search etc. - at the Budget Estimates on the 25-28th of May - this is not a bad place to start.
Okay to kick off the Q&A list...
Q1/ I don't know about anyone else but I'd like to know who it is that sits on the SSWG?
Q2/ I'd also like to know the answer to Brock's (& presumably many others) question on why (& on what new evidence) the ATSB is making signs of searching beyond their original performance limit for MH370??
From thread - Less Noise and More Signal post #6
Quote:"...If the ATSB’s Oct. Flight Path Analysis Update is to be believed, there is no point searching SW of [S38, E88], because that was where the performance limit crossed the 7th arc (translation: they feel MH370 lacked sufficient fuel to make it to any point on the 7th arc further SW of that coordinate, as it would cover too much distance within the prescribed amount of time).
MTF...P2
