I'm not going to defend the E-jet guys, nor am I going to stick it to the Tiger pilots either. As has been said, we're all human, however it's my understanding that whilst the Tiger incidents were the final straw in CASA's decision to pull the plug, the bigger issue there has been one of oversight & accountability (or lack of) on a management & safety/standards level.

Two airlines, two similar incidents, but two very different cultures when it comes to dotting the "I's" & crossing the "T's".
