Shell Management:
From lyman : If the BEA preferred, they would not release any report. The report has no upside for them, it is DUTY only, and cannot be shrugged...
So thanks for the addendum....
PJ2, alf....
Foresight was in place prior 447...It is always in place. Given time, I could likely find the joker who warned Boeing about skin fatigue, and the COMET, and Alaskan's screw jack crimes.... Failures of epic proportion virtually never occur in a vacuum of data, or spontaneously.
QF 32? Want to talk to the man who warned Rolls about harmonics? Who was the guy on the floor, or the office, who saw the problem with the certification of the Thales? The THS potential for mischief? The STALLWARN issue? The over loud warnng of overspeed v SW?
damning evidence of failure is the enemy, in a pre "event" setting. It's in the superb link alf provided. STUPID STUPID STUPID. With a large dose of DENIAL, starry eyed paydays, and continued peer centered esteem.....It gets out of control, then all one can do is wait for the inevitable, and hope someone else is on duty when it happens, or one is parted the company, and for mutually beneficial reasons, anonymity will prevail....
If things go on long enough prior to the disaster, it will present that Mother Nature is at fault, with her weather, or robust thermal challenge of re-entry on a partially naked aircraft.....WRONG.
447 has all the elements of the longed for genesis of a catharsis to be welcomed.
When the chrome wears thin, one cannot merely paint...
