A total disgrace that this was released to the media. It actually makes no difference anyway. They weren't grounded because of these two incidents, they were grounded for failures to address safety concerns. The statement above says it all, that after the first incident the pilot concerned didn't receive any further 'training' before the second occurance. Even if management had bought the crew to an adhoc sim session for something just to go over what had happened CASA no doubt would have been understanding. Not all incidents require a revisit to the sim, but I would think anything that resulted in an ATSB investigation would warrant some re-training (not checking). Tiger shot themselves in the foot with this one when the second incident happened and CASA found out that no sort of action was taken after the first event. Not the pilots fault.
