Not really the core of this thread, but:
For mine,
Mainframe has just about nailed it, along with
Frank Arouet.
My Oleo is... - mate, you're in denial. That's the nicest way I can say it
CASA took flack over LHR - and as I understand things, they deserved it!! It's not hypocritical at all to say that they:
will quickly take up any regulatory breaches identified except their own
I would bet that if CASA, and not the ATSB were investigating, none of the issues relating to surveillance of the company would even have been mentioned!
Did they squirm and duck and weave? Yep.
Did they admit any responsibility? Of course not. (The statements made by BB to the press after the accident was some of the most gutless duck-shoving I've ever seen.)
Has anything changed at CASA? No. Of course not.
Sounds like sour grapes to me.I agree with you that the Regulator does make mistakes, but name me one Aviation company that has never made a mistake, employed a nimwit, or made a knee jerk reaction to something in haste ?
Oleo, name me one Aviation company that does it TIME and TIME and TIME again, and is STILL IN BUSINESS!!
