Folks,
In the subdued language of Government and Parliamentary reports, this one could best be described as "explosive".
In the normal course of events, should we not expect the immediate resignation of the Chief Commissioner --- this job turned out to be a poisoned chalice for a prominent public servant, but one with limited, if any, technical knowledge or experience in this field.
Who should the replacement be --- several names have been canvassed in this thread.
I want to add another, imminently qualified to meet the inquiry recommendation for minimum qualifications to be the ATSB Chief Commissioner. He is the present industry head of the CASA SCC, and an old BASI/ATSB (and the same job in other countries) hand.
Tootle pip!!
