Miller first then Chambers.

Right to business, The Chambers Report: hands up all those that have actually read this poxy epistle – not too many then. Well you should. The Miller report was a tester, to see exactly how far the boundaries of credibility could be stretched. This crew got away with the MoU and its subsequent amendments by stealth, covering the most outrageous 'easements' under bureaucratic subtext and slight of hand.

The BRB (special un- lubricated meeting) have declared the Chambers report: a badly written, plagiarised (check Google) nonsense, which thinly disguises an unbelievably expensive method of providing the anointed 'few' with almost unlimited power over their 'troops' and enabling a select few (individual managers) the power to decide, when, how and which evidence may be 'used'. Essentially, evidence may be made by the mile and cut off as needed. We have seen this technique used and it is the thin end of the wedge. Miller was allowed to be inflicted on industry with only the mildest of protest, the results are clearly apparent in the Senate report on the Pel Air ditching at Norfolk Island, confidentiality issues and the tangible breakdown of even due process; let alone 'law'.

Now, I know it's a bind but - any serious aviation professional or operator really should take the time and read the wretched thing; then, while the iron is still hot, speak out: loud and long against any part of this twisted, devious, malignant "report" being allowed to have any influence over future changes to the audit, investigation and administrative prosecution of industry operators or the people they employ. They got away very neatly with the Miller report, do not allow a repetition with the "Chambers report".

Perhaps Chambers could share a taxi with Dolan, hell, I'd even shout the fare.
