Agreed Bear. But after this event anything is possible!

THE MORAL ISSUE

The fact that people on the ground know more about the engines than the crew on the aircraft is UNBELIEVABLE.

The fact that this aircraft was designed for long distance oceanic and transcontinental routes inherently means that any communication system that relies on standard HF and VHF communications is flawed.

The Bayesians have been used to provide Rolls Royce with a cost monitoring tool with no regard to life and limb at the critical time.

This is the issue here. All the documents are focussed on $$$$ reduction.
Not safety.

What part did Sir John Rose play in this?

He saw exactly what was happening and decided he wanted no part of it.
It is one thing to use statistical methods for cost prediction but quite another to play the deity with the public. He left the company.

Good for him.
