The inquiry is missing the whole point by not asking the right questions or casting the spotlight in the right areas. The inquiry's focus should be broader and look at the whole industry.
The terms of reference only covers australian carriers. The public is free to fly on international carriers with significantly lower safety standards and day in day out some of these international carriers fly into Australia. How much do we really know about their practices and safety standards?
I would not be at all surprised if some overseas carriers put the flying public in more risk than any Australian carriers.
