With regard to 'just culture' & a workable error management system,there is a programme being rolled out across the RAF.Its based on the EASA model,
it's a good system ,if its allowed to work!
While I share the view that government spending cuts played a great part,these were accepted and administered by a series of CDS/CAS.
I don't remember any resignations or major war's of words,so should they also bear some responsability?
