Management Impact

SAS, I concur with the direction you have taken with regard to the Shetlands accident explanation ( to come ).
Wanted to offer a comment on your simple, but really on point remark:

"Management very often does play a huge role that gets left out of most Accident Reports as what they do is not illegal, is not a direct measurable effect necessarily, and escapes examination."

Management pressure to press on when the evidence already on hand says " caution ", or to place people in position to accomplish a task when they really don't want to be there, are realities that can exist, with fatal results. There are other versions of people in direct line management doing, or perhaps, not doing something that had a direct bearing on the ensuing accident, and the AAIB/NTSB have no way of learning these details. Hard to criticize in some respects, because these issues can be judgmental/opinion based.

Anyhow, a fertile discussion.
