Why on earth is the ATSB drifting off from the rest of the world? Imagine if there was ever a large fatal here (touch wood), these clowns wouldn't have a clue.
It's because the clowns in Australia have been approved and allowed to operate under the system called 'Beakerology'. A system where bonuses, spreadsheets and protection of Minsters supercede's safety requirements, initiatives or priority.
And you are correct, the clowns/muppets/nupty's wouldn't have a clue what to do if a 'smoker' occurs. But then again, the fronline ATSB lads/ladettes are still capable of doing what they have to do, for now. Give it 5 years and Beaker will have Investigation Graduates from Asia on cheap wages doing the job so he can make budget and bonus.
