I'll say this, he is a carbon copy of the previous Directors of Aviation Safety.
All promised a clean out of the organization and failed to achieve that. All refused to listen to industry concerns but made a big noise about industry consultation.
This DAS has the benefit of a recent DPM review and Senate inquiry to use as a yardstick. The consultation is done. He hasn't acted to the extent that he may be called a reformer.
He's an average DAS.
