My condolences to Carol and her family for their loss.
I admit to not knowing how the previous MOD airworthiness systems did or did not work. But the new MAA have a real dilemma in picking which end of their huge problem to sort out first - the chicken or the egg.
Unfortunately it appears that the egg is the easiest to correct first and (doubly unfortunately) they have laid another egg in trying to correct the first.
In their attempt to take charge of their situation they have merely set some new rules in place...no training, familiarisation visits, guidance or enforcement - just new rules.
Oh well. At least someone is enjoying debating them and writing them - cos no-one appears to be reading them!
