Experience
Regarding BA038 and to a greater extent, other investigations, it's important to note that there are as many perspectives as there are stakeholders in the "outcome". Perhaps closest to the pure neutral position is AAIB, as folks back away from their point of view, parochial vestings start to appear. I think that is why those who annoyingly post "Wait for the Report, etc." have an inarguable point. Long ago, when media was more limited, had fewer outlets and showed a small amount of judgment, the public was less interested, simply because information and venue were so limited. A friend died at DFW in the Delta 1011 windshear crash, another lost #2 (727) on takeoff, still another landed with left main gear collapsed. Incidents inform as well as titillate, and that should be the goal of AAIB BA038. I don't take this thread too seriously (with certain few exceptions), but the expanse of the web permits, no, encourages amateurish opinion and rant. Having been involved in many investigations, (albeit working for folks with a huge stake in the outcome), I can safely say in my opinion AAIB at this stage is well ahead of anyone here, it is the nature of the exercise. Rant off, but armed.
