The MAA paid quite a lot of attention to adapting the civil regs to the UK military context but I feel they missed a fundamental point: in the civil system, the obligations are placed on those with the technical competence to make the right judgments. You have to use these people wherever they are to be found (irrespective of rank or organisation). Tuc has often drawn our attention to the CS process for gaining competence. While I agree wholeheartedly with his views, I doubt whether that process can be recreated in the medium term.

Just my opinion. Companies exist to deliver commercial success. Maybe MBA and their insurers decided that rolling over was the most effective way to return to commercial success?
