Duty of Care is a grey area in combat operations. I know there are many Ppruners who dislike lawyers and the blame society but the response to the corporate manslaughter notices has been revealing. This is a Govt made up of lawyers, I think there is a real concern amongst them that one of them might end up in court. So much so, that I understand changes are to be made to the legislation. We need to explore the real meaning of Duty of Care, it might be the most effective way of getting decent equipment for our military personnel.
I am concerned that the programme to fit foam will be disrupted by the shortage of frames, it is a subject that I am hoping to raise via PQ.
One other thing, according to my info the A400M is now getting fleetwide DAS. A case of Govt nervousness?
Congrats to the editorial team for a hard hitting opinion.
