It's not just the disasters that have occurred. Sadly, I believe there are still "accidents" waiting to happen for all the reasons given in the report.
There is no quick fix for years of underfunding and the budget first mentality.
It is a very sobering read especially if you currently have a job with delegated airworthiness responsibilities!
Never a truer word! I am so glad I managed to find another job and leave the IPT I was on, and the 26 years of aeronatical experience and training behind. If you voiced your concerns you were branded a moaner or trouble maker, others however seemed far more able to sleep easy with the financially driven decisions that were common place.
Unfiortunately IPTs as a whole seem to get tarred with a very big brush, but there are many within doing their utmost to do the right thing, sometimes the system is just too powerful that common sense (also read airworthiness) struggles to break through.
