Dear Senators:
In a glib, quasi friendly, condescending 'email', which begins with the salutation "G'day Mr James" and ends with "All the best" (of luck one assumes), the slippery Snagsome of Pel-Air fame has informed Dom James that indeed, the ditching of his medivac aircraft off Norfolk is to be 're-examined'.
A new investigation team will review the original investigation and associated report in the light of any fresh evidence and other relevant points raised in this and separate reviews by the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee and through the Deputy Prime Minister’s Aviation Safety Regulation Review. The main focus will be ensuring that the specific findings of the TSB review are taken fully into account before issuing a final report of the reopened investigation.
Does Snagsome imagine, for one minute that a simple 'review' will make it all better?; if he does, then he's barking.
Does the purblind, non technical administrator believe that it's only about the 'report' and that is the only 'aberration'?; if he does then clearly it's time for the men in white coats.
The Senate inquiry publicly exposed a picture of the top of a very ugly ice berg. It was
not the 'investigation'; the likes of Watson, Hattley, Cook and the rest of troops did not do too bad a job. It was what was done with their work and the predetermined outcome which held everyone in a thrall of stunned disbelief. The CASA actions, in particular the actions of Chambers, White, Grima, Farquharson, McCormick, and ATSB Sangsome, Walsh and Dolan deserve much more attention than a simple cut and polish job; this is damage that will not simply 'buff out'.
The Snagsome olive leaf, much like the Canadian maple leaf will be used to cover the more sensitive areas, lest some blushing virgin happen to espy a forbidden part of the anatomy. Well the princess crowd had better toughen up; we want the full Monty – all of it in public, with music, lights and a camera. The actions of this crowd have wantonly denied the victims basic human rights and destroyed a mans career, though administrative persecution, a whispering campaign and inventing a set of impediments, which effectively prevent that man obtaining the ratings needed, to even apply for work, let alone expect to receive any.
IT's NOT THE REPORT WHICH IS THE PROBLEM – IT's THE PRE DETERMINED OUTCOME, THE COLLUSION AND BLATENT PERVERSION OF THE AVIATION SAFETY SYSTEMS WHICH HAS LANDED BOTH ATSB AND CASA IN THE MIRE. REVIEW THAT: you supercilious, harebrained Muppet.
No, no; not cranky, not yet; but getting there a bloody site faster than I normally would. I just can't believe 'these people' actually exist and are 'in charge' of aeronautical matters, but, alas, it seems they are and they do.
A fig leaf, is it really enough to cover all the sins; or just the bits that may embarrass?
