McCormick hit out against those that resorted to personal attacks when CASA ruled against them.
“I have had no problem with people putting their point of view and arguing their case as that is their right if they disagree with CASA,” McCormick said.
“But just because some people may disagree it does not mean CASA is necessarily wrong or should step away from its position.
“Sadly when some of CASA’s critics have not got their own way the debate has degenerated and become personal, which is not constructive and does nothing for aviation safety.
“It is a fact of human nature that some people will personally attack others as a way of diverting too close an examination of themselves.”
Folks, this is called "
projection" in psychiatry - the act of attributing the characteristics of your own behaviour to your critics.
By all accounts, Mc Cormick got the nickname "the screaming skull" for his behaviour towards others when he didn't "get his own way" and to divert attention from his own behaviour.
Furthermore his participation in the "star chamber" process at Cathay involved intensely personal judgements based on no documented evidence or transparent process whatsoever.
The rest of the article indicates a man totally out of touch with reality because, unless the submissions and the conclusions contained in the inquiry report to Government are totally wrong, he has presided over a total basket case.
