Ref post 1579 and Jackonicko's comments.

Not sure if any chaps were aware but Air Cdre Baber was the head of airworthiness assurance and approval and was, according to the grapevine, moved sideways about 2-3 months ago due to the perceived fallout from the Haddon-Cave report.
Not sure what message that gives to you, but to me it appears he is guilty as charged of prioriting the saving of money over the lives of people under his duty-of-care oh well he got his thick band off of it. As IPTL he was directly responsible. IMHO any TL who is found culpable deserves their time in the dock.

Well on the plus side he won't be allowed to place any more lives in peril.
