I know, and respect, many of the guys (M & F) who were drafted into the UK MOD, MAA and the MAAIB.
They are good operators, engineers and other branches - they believe in the supremacy of flight safety and they are trying their best.
But I'm not sure they have complete buy-in from the very top.
It's de-rigeur to blame politicians; sometimes I wonder about our Air Marshals, Generals and Admirals.
Carol, I'm sorry if my post doesn't give you much comfort.
