Owners kept away from management????
Mach and Others,
With respect guys there are owners of aviation companies who do an excellent job with safety related matters resulting in well run safe organisations. Stop for one moment and think how a company might start and grow to be something big if it did not commence with a hands on owner?
No owner = No company = No jobs.
In my experience we have seen the guys who are shonks go right through their career doing the wrong thing and nothing ever happens, with reference to the regulator, until there is a serious accident or worse still a fatality. We, the industry, know who they are but if we say anything or pass information to CASA we are the worst type of people in the eyes of our peers and for that reason we keep our mouths shut in public. There are bad eggs in every industry and in my view the common thread here is that the regulator fails to do anything even though they are aware of the situation, e.g. Hempel. Why is that?
