B412 WA
To quote 'Private Eye', "that's all right then"!
Those in the know with the authority/ability? to effect change/improvement as a result of this accident will continue to climb the 'corporate greasy pole' & to push the 'elixir' of safety case management whilst the glaring operational/infrastructure deficiencies of the Niger Delta will be ignored. i.e. non-existent flight following/poorly trained (for the most part) radio operators both rig based & Osubi based/only one radio frequency for the passing of position reports, ATIS, weather, airways clearances, level requests, Osubi airfield traffic etc.,etc.,/total lack of radar cover/poor separation/no automatic rebro. facilities for flight following purposes/total lack of SAR units.
But then again the oil co's & operators have only been in Nigeria for 40+ years & we all know it takes time to effect change/improvement!, & to provide the facilities that exist elsewhere in W.Africa & for the most part they don't have oil!
with fraternal greetings, ambi
