No, Clipped Wings is not correct. And neither are you. I assume you haven't worked for Serco in BIAP. Whatever Serco is or does in other locations has little, if anything, to do with how they operate in Iraq.
Serco did not do adequate "due diligence" in preparation for this contract (as one of the senior managers from DXB will happily and sloppily confirm when he's had a few too many drinks). They under-estimated the tasks and under-bid by millions.
More importantly, despite the other locations where they operate, they didn't (and still don't) comprehend their responsibilities and culpabilities with respect to safety. When the day comes that someone compares their stated corporate policies, procedures and responsibilities to what they are doing, and aren't doing, in their Iraq Ops, they are in deep deep trouble. If that knowledge comes to light as a result of an accident, the damage to Serco could well be fatal.
Happy to discuss specifics if you wish.
