There are FOI out there who couldn't start to write a check system, let alone a supporting manual, pontificating on what 'they' will or will not accept. There are people out there thrice rejected at the point of a legal gun, who are strutting about with their thinly veiled, deep seated problems, using the most despicable of tactics to subvert and manipulate the system in order to justify a 'their safety' case. There are lunatic 'philosophies' being espoused on aircraft handling, enforced by dire threat. There are specifically targeted people, isolated by innuendo and threat. There are ludicrous regulations being added to equally ridiculous policy added to punitive, expensive legal dribble, on a daily basis. There are engineers who don't truly know if using tool 24 instead of tool 25 will land them in jail. There are operators who have spent $100,000 and almost two years to get a simple aircraft onto an AOC. There are operators and pilots who have been decimated on very thin grounds, without a chance of rehabilitation or affordable recourse. etc. etc. etc. The list is very long, documented and available.
If that is the case, where is your evidence and is it in writing with date time place and names and witnesses?
If it isn't then its just so much hot air. Furthermore, there will need to be a very long list of such actions to make any impression on anyone outside the aviation magic circle.
It is goign to be far easier to help CASA and ATSB make some changes then to try and change things by starting a civil war between industry and regulator.
If we stop being sweet and reasonable and instead go feral then there is increased potential for mistakes to be made leading to another accident, and if that happens, to borrow a few of ATSB's words from the report, we will all have egg on our faces..
