Oh boy, and I say that with five years of work time at a low level TC inspector job. Could no longer support the surprisingly and unbelievably toxic work environment, so like 90% of the new recruits who needed jobs after the 9/11 events, finally escaped the place......
First off, there is an adversarial relationship between the TSB and TC. Mostly by structural design. For those of you who are not canadian, canada pretends to be oh so good and oh so fair, but in reality, they love to tear each other apart. There is a hidden class system operating in the country.
If you note what the TSB says in their press release, all they want to do is have information to point the ''ah ha'' finger. Fair enough. Everyone wants to know why it happened. But they do not care about how much this will cost an air operator or whether they can afford it. The TSB is still a government unit, and as all government units, they think that money is no object and there is more where that money came from. I have to pay my bills and be real careful, and I certainly do not have a bottomless source of money. Government units are blind to the concept.
TC has the task of actually making this into rule. Before you make it into a rule, you have to get this through what is called the CARAC process, which is consultation with industry before rules are actually made.
And you can see where the complications are created.
Sad to say, one bunch of civil servants lobbing mud to another bunch of civil servants, and none of them have little to zero clue about the realities of life. But hey, they get paid and they have their pensions and life for them goes on. More taxpayer sourced money is always available.
In the meantime, people doing real work in real time, that would be industry......well.......too bad.......do as I say, do not do as I do.........
I would be nice to see public servants in this country make reality based decisions, my experiences indicate that they live in a utopic and theoretical world.
