The three Stooges.
What a trio; hell bent on copying the originals, the only difference being that the originals and their antics were pure fiction and made folks smile.
The Rev Forsyth could see, far and clear beyond the smoke and mirrors, so could his associates. Skidmore deems that report as a ‘view’, the rolling road shows and ‘visits’ are designed to meet operators who, no surprise, mention that yes, they have a few small problems. These ‘small’ problems are quickly translated into Forsyth jumping at shadows and reported back to the Minister as being easily solved and “all is well”. So, Forsyth is rendered nugatory by industry feed back, a few well placed ‘exemptions’ and Bingo; all is well.
The ATCO can see very well a top heavy system collapsing, yet not even the much vaunted ‘courage badges’ and a mile of Repcon can penetrate the well protected personal piggy banks and Govt. money making machine the top layers have built to protect and defend their ‘system’.
ATSB can conjure 50 millions to continue their dialogue with Malysia, but cannot possibly investigate ‘all’ incidents; neatly drawing a line under even providing expert, in depth analysis of the Melbourne situation. Their investigator given second class material and Dolan declaring that it was too expensive to investigate properly; and anyway, CASA and ASA said all was well; nothing to see, move along and the ATSB, most obligingly, did so.
Here’s a Willy-Leaks video, smuggled out of the sacred halls of the Murky Machiavellian, detailing the latest ‘tripartite’ conference of our aviation saviour top management with their Big boss.
Toot toot.
