In all the 'white noise'...mumbling and stumbling of mi..mi..mi Beaker
and the shear arrogance and blatant Sociopath behaviour of the DAS
in the AAI inquiry, you kind of forget about the worthy contributions from 3rd parties.
Geoff Klouth in representing AIPA was one of these and he gave a rather unique perspective as he is an operational Captain and a former Senior Transport Investigator with the ATSB.
However I think GK's contribution in a 'private' capacity at the pilot training inquiry was more noteworthy. Shame
his contribution, along with many others, was white washed by Albo's Great White Elephant Paper (the GWEP)..
So for Kharon's benefit, & anyone who is interested, here are some links to highlight GK's contribution to the last 2 inquiries...
