Safety considerations

So all these changes that Joyce has commissioned, a lot of talk about business units, money, structure, money money money.

I see no mention of some more important aspects such as;
1) What considerations did the executives give to potential impacts on safety?
2) What aspects of safety or risks were identified during the restructure process?
3) Are QF following a change management process?
4) What changes in the safety system will now occur, and has planning for this been actioned?
5) Is the Regulator satisfied that all new senior positions are being undertaken by individuals who have adequate safety knowledge and experience?

You see the promotion of accountants, former financial consultants and the like does nothing to instill a measure of safety comfort in me.
And what about CASA? They of course have to approve these structural changes. Obviously they are most satisfied with this change within the QF AOC? One can only assume that the Regulator is most satisfied with the restructure, appointment of new key people and new organizational structure?
And what about Albo, is he happy?
