MG, the really annoying thing is that aviation doesn't give a damn about dedication, hard work, or any other such admirable traits. If it can be given half a chance to kill then it will. Having it regulated by those who don't know how to because they replaced those who did, having its regulations constantly rewritten because the ones that worked before were binned, having the inevitable consequent airworthiness related accidents investigated by an Air Accident Investigation Branch that is actually a part of that Regulatory Authority (which is about to demonstrate yet again the lack of its authority!) so that it does not point the finger at the Authority for Gross Airworthiness shortcomings, gives it far more than half a chance to kill and is really annoying!

The last noteworthy attempt by the RAF Flight Safety Organisation to get to grips with the scandal that is UK Military Airworthiness was when its Inspector General commissioned the 'Arts' on various fleets that were the subject of Flight Safety concern; Hercules, Nimrod, Chinook, Tornado, and others. All were buried to the point that their very existence was denied by the MOD and the RAF High Command. That more than anything showed how ineffective and submissive this supposedly CoC independent organisation is. That is really annoying!

You are annoyed? Join the club.
