SM;
I'm not in the slightest bitter, I don't have to contract to Shell anymore. As for the initials/acronyms, frankly I couldn't give a s***. I'm currently involved in writing an AOC SMS and we are working to the best available material under the guidance of the CAA.
Whatever works for a company like Shell will probably not work in aviation, especially as Shell will probably ignore it as soon as it impinges on their "operational requirements"
I now don't believe you either work for/have ever worked for Shell, otherwise there is no way a man of integrity could claim that they are so perfect, and I am assuming you are a man of integrity and not a troll or dishonest.
Working on the oil patch across the world I was left amazed at the safety policies of all oil companies when they thought no-one would notice.
