Well done Distant Voice. Further proof, in any is needed, that the MoD/MAA need look no further than pprune for its Corporate Knowledge.
Well said Chug.
Well said Dick Garwood, although an acknowledgement that (a) you're simply repeating evidence to Haddon-Cave and Lord Philip and (b) it was the RAF's Chief Engineer who began the decimation and marginalisation of engineering posts in 1991, wouldn't have gone amiss.
Why so long to release the report? Coincidence that last week the chair of the HoC Defence Committee (Rory Stewart MP) called forward a report into another accident, which made all the above points and was summed up by one be-knighted MP as "I fear we are faced with another Chinook situation"?
I think what we may all be agreed on is that key safety measures should be treated separately within the overall resourcing process
Well said. Yet another old policy ditched by the RAF Chief Engineer in 1991! Resurrection was recommended to DPA's DCE in January 2000, and again to H-C and Philip. Hopefully the MAA will change its mind and support you. So far, they've sided with their MoD bosses.
