Manipulated, Obfuscated, Useless.
You can see the real damage Pel-Air and several serious other ‘incidents’ have left in their wake; it’s reflected in the trite, cosy, arse covering, mutually beneficial, incestuous ‘understanding’ between these two supposedly independent safety agencies. The only concern, cleverly concealed within the weasel words is for their own safety from accountability, nothing else.
You can just hear the well rehearsed stock answer to an inquiry “at all times we acted within the terms of the 2016 MoU, they covered our sorry arses, we covered their scabby heads; all good, all legal, so, in the immortal words of Barmybaby, Piss off Senator”.
This MoU puts Hoody squarely in front of the bus. He is either part of it, which makes him party to the connivance; or, he must set about changing the ‘understanding’ signed by Beaker to retain credibility. If anyone knows the machinations within ASA Hoody does. So, what’s that make Hood; a willing accomplice or a dupe? I say, anything the Uriah Heep of accident investigation touches, particularly in cahoots with Halfwit must, be weighed against Hansard evidence, be viewed with deep suspicion and examined very, very carefully. Either way, as the incoming CC of the ATSB you’d want a say, wouldn’t you?. I know I would, lest folk thought that nothing was going to change and Uriah’s leavings were acceptable.
Nothing to do I guess, but watch, wait and count the days until Beaker leaves the building and the windows may be opened to allow some fresh air into the place.
Toot toot.
