Its referred to as the Tombstone Imperative Kharon and it is the sad reality of how safety change occurs in aviation. Weather radar, EGPWS, non-toxic materials in cabin furnishings, CRM, stick shakers to name but a few. Look at the title of this thread and it will give you a clue as to the effectiveness of Parliamentary inquiries as a game changer in getting aviation back into worlds best practice. Look at the Part 61 changes. One of the biggest cockups to be visited upon the industry and the wider world doesn't care. Sunny's much vaunted PM&C sit silent on the matter because they simply don't understand what the problem is. As many others have stated, including those who no longer tread the boards (well not under that name anyway) the only way the pollies and the wider public will be shaken out of their complacency is unpleasant images on their TV screens and expose's on ACA and the tabloids.
