Kharon,
Well worded my friend with robust factual commentary direct from the River Styx. Good work! Make sure the boat is in working order, the oars in good shape, crew and Captain have their log books in order and the safety briefing cards comply ICAO Annex 6, as more passengers are coming shortly! (
Also refer to S.O.P - Rev 20:1,2)
Chief Screaming Skull's outburst is part and parcel of his attitude towards others whom he holds in contempt (pretty much anybody who disagrees with him).
Fort Fumble have done a good job in decades gone past, dazzling Senators and impressing them with spreadsheets, fluffy mission statements, and so called commitments to all things safe. This round is different. Different Senators, in fact clever ones, ones not prone to being fooled by party tricks and silly pantomimes. This will be third poo poo sandwich he has ingested in recent weeks. The Senators are no mugs and they can see the attitude of this bloke. The 'CAA' have for decades treated industry, Senators and aviation like fools. The game is up. The smoke has dissapeared and the mirrors are all broken and the tricks are exposed.
And it is funny how they are crying poor over 'attacks' on senior management? As Kharon points out, it is ok for them to bully industry individuals (and staff), bankrupt businesses, gang up and anihalate individual reputations, yet if there is even a resembalance of finger wagging pointed at them it is time to grab the Kleenex? Somebody ought to remind them that they are public servants providing a public service (supposedly) so on that basis they are and will remain in the public eye somewhat. they have a charter to uphold, and they are not doing it. If they don't like the negativity then the answer is simple - Retire and go play lawn bowls or knit cardiagans. Otherwise toughen up, lead by example and maybe you will earn a measure of respect.
Complete with Aloe to sooth those sore noses from all the blowing they have been doing
