Too many individuals link just culture and no blame together.
Very true and a fundamental misrepresentation spread by the unionised flight safety mafia.
Very simply put, a just culture is about analysing an event and learning from it.
AND holding people accountable when their performance is significantly below par.
In this case the concious deviations by Continetal staff are just that. It is crazy to compare their reckless actions in maintaining a small metal strip to the far more complex actions of certificating a unique supersonic transport aircraft.
