Why are you second guessing the 3rd enquiry? The events leading up to the ditching come into 2 categories, what is not disputed ie the aircraft ditched and a number of events prior to the ditching which are again being re examined.
What has not even been examined is what went wrong once the aircraft hit the water. Why didnt the life raft stay in place and why wasnt it released? Why didnt the life jackets work? In any other accident invloving a ditching this seems to be a normal part of the investigation. CASA and the ATSB even have a cabin crew investigators. Where are they in this case?
The current discussion is on the ABC 4 Corners last night was about the treatment (or lack thereof) of the medical CREW.Why under the current rules are they limited to physical damages and what is the limit on physical damages (that was not discussed)?
One thing that I learnt last night is if you work in aviation or medical you would be really smart to belong to a good union.You may not like the day to day union stuff but noone else is there in these circumstances.
Karen Casey's situation is just as valid a PPRune discussion as the cause of the accident because she was a crew member and her treatment by the system is indicative of what everyone else can expect in an accident.
