Tourist,
Yep. Agreed that a lot of hoop has been spoken about the SK accident. I was around at the time, although not on the Ship. I simply can't reconcile the Nimrod in my tiny brain. Reasons? Comments such as 'low-level crewroom emotive gossip' or whatever it was from our higher ups. They were warned, they did nothing, we lost 14 Aircrew.
Not sure the MAA is the solution, but if you consider the big picture and operational effectiveness, then consider also how many Nimrods we had to play with at the time, how many crew(and sadly I hate to say it, the financial cost of replacing their experience). And the waste....
