Stan also heard from a reliable source that the next public hearing is the 15th, pity it wasn’t the 14th we could have dubbed it the ‘Valentine’s Massacre Mark II’! 
Anyway should be confirmed tomorrow when the Senate sits.
Going off the PAIN reference and spike’s post….
“Rumour has it that the latter were raised particularly in relation to the fatigue risk management system that CASA had previously approved. Being the devil's advocate and highlighting deficiencies in your employer is fraught with danger but that is the lot of a proper investigation and apparently the inspector concerned was given a pineapple previously for, when asked to examine CASA's responses to ATSB safety recommendations from the Lockhart River accident, he did not hold back on criticising those responses ( or lack of them). Admittedly the pineapple was purported to have been launched not from the person that requested the report but from the person who attracted the criticism. Or so I hear.”
….my money is that spike would be referring to BC rather than MC, although both gentleman have CVs that would put them in the top 2% of experts in Human Factors in aviation for Australia, if not the world!
Going off Oleo’s post maybe compiling a list of questions might help to clear some of the bull**** and corruption we’re beginning to get flooded with here!
Q1/ So why did they both jump ship(BC&MC)? And the timing is very suss, especially BC (August 2010)??
Q2/ And those countersigned RCAs WTF is that all about?
Q3/ And in a normal world should some of those RCAs have required a ‘Safety Alert’?
Following assessment of the response and on the Recipient Response portion of the RCA carry out the following actions:
• Complete the Verification and Action section; this section must record objective evidence to support the decision for acquittal.
• Complete the name and file reference sections.
• Acquit the audit response by signing the document.
• Notify the Auditee of the acceptance of the response in accordance with the local field office procedures.
• Forward the acquitted RCA and supporting documentation on the file to the data entry operator for entry into the support systems (see data entry Guidelines for ASSP and Pentana).
• Enter the RCA information into the relevant support systems.
• Ensure all RCA acquittal and closure documentation is filed on the appropriate audit file.
Q4/ So where is the acquittal documentation for the RCAs, hmm maybe they’ve got a stuck TRIM or no one could manage to hit the Pentana?
There’s a possible RRAT committee document request in there me thinks??
The more that is revealed the more the reeking pooh piles up!
