PNM - Why are we getting our pantyhose in a knot about an accident investigation which the national body devolved to an independent body under arrangements established by ICAO in comparison to an administrative "benchmarking" activity requested by an agency that had nothing to do with ICAO or the investigation devolution arrangements?
The circumstances are not even remotely similar. The final product is sure to disappoint those who misunderstand its purpose.
Agree with "K" pure gold Princester...
Although I do wonder if the Dutch will be quite as distracted by the subjectively edited (smoke'n'mirrors); politically & commercially corrected ATsB report which the DSB will eventually receive in response to their request
:
Assistance to the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) in the conduct of its investigation 'Decision-making regarding safety of flight routes'
Summary
Together with the investigation agencies of a number of other countries, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has received a request from the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) for assistance in the conduct of its investigation titled
Decision-making regarding safety of flight routes. The DSB request seeks to provide a global context to its own investigation findings. The ATSB has agreed to this request and, in order to protect the information gathered as part of this process, has initiated an external investigation under the
Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003.
The results of the ATSB’s investigation will be passed to the DSB for inclusion in their investigation report.
Not to mention how our two Senior Transport Safety Investigators will feel when Beaker & the other two (no nothing, yes-men) Commissioners executively correct the report for factual inaccuracies...
Oh b..b..boys you forgot your packed lunches!
For Beaker though it will be like water off a ducks back considering how he treated other Senior TSIs who dared to voice their objections in the PelAir (attempted) cover-up...
Addendum - Albo's cost cutting back to bite
Transport safety regulator hit hard by cuts
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau's annual report, released on Monday, said more than 200 years of combined corporate and investigative experience had left the agency after a four-year planning program completed in March showed it could not maintain current staffing levels into future years.
"The decision to reduce our staff numbers was particularly difficult as it was made in the knowledge that there is no contingent workforce of highly skilled transport safety investigators available in the marketplace to be deployed at short notice in the event of a new crisis," ATSB chief commissioner Martin Dolan said.
Q/ Is the ATsB now redundant??
MTF...
