Is 'safety' really 'first'?
That is at the nub of all this chest beating and 'bureauspin' that is touted from the regulator and safety bureau, they are more interested in topping up their troughs and future super funds than 'safety'!
However the good Senator Fawcett summed it up:
Senator FAWCETT:
How do you track those? How do we, as a society, make sure we prevent the accidents occurring again?
We (as an industry) kick, scream, scrap and point out that it isn't acceptable for there to be a risk of a smoking hole in the ground or a mid-air collision between two heavily laden jets full of loved ones on our watch!
FFS get it together and forget about the bickering between these obviously inept federal agencies, too busy fighting over the bigger slice of the pizza. This is about standing up for our professional standards and exemplary aviation history we currently have in Oz...these numpties aren't going to do it for you!
Send the good Senators e-mails of encouragement and tell them they're kicking the right heads and maybe a word of wisdom....or we can all stand around swinging d
ks and wingeing like the poms while the holes in the cheese are busy lining up!
