Folks,
It is interesting to include the views of a certain pilot's union, who insist that not only must the slightest demonstrated risk be mitigated, but CASA must deal with "perceptions of risk", even if there is no demonstrated or identified real risk.
This is, to my mind, the classic example of Lead Balloon's "cognitive bias" , where air safety risk's likelihood and consequences is vastly overstated, in this case to the degree that alleged risks that cannot be illustrated, that are admitted to be "perceptions of risk", must nevertheless be formally mitigated.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Needless to say, this union does NOT support benefit/cost justification of any aviation regulation, which undoubtedly makes the present Minister very happy.
