None of them have the experience to understand the most basic concept of carrying out an audit and corrective actions.
Isn't that what the Chambers report said about CASA?
Their underlying premise is that there is collusion between John McCormick and Doolan
I think the committee has moved on from that premise and are now looking at CASA withholding information relevant to the investigation.
As said, the pilot fcked up
Even the Senator who is allegedly not qualified to ask questions about a subject he has experience in has said the inquiry is not there to exonerate the pilot. If CASA had been doing their job properly that pilot would probably not have been flying that operation. They should have required greater PIC experience and a more robust operation to support what was in effect ETOPs jet operations regardless of the category.
The ATSB would be better off in considering CASA to be part of the problem not part of the solution and they should get back to issuing recommendations that require a satisfactory response before they are closed off.
Then again that is just my opinion.
