ODA isn't perfect, but neither was the old system.
There is no perfect system, not in aircraft certification, nor any other discipline in aviation (nor any other industry, for that matter). Events of this past year will serve to remind the delegate community, and those who employ delegates, to discharge the responsibilities with the greatest dedication. I expect that if, in the past, there had been pressures to find compliance from management, management will now be tripping over themselves to demonstrate their patience for the process.
