Flight safety was not invented to save lives.
I will say that again.
Flight safety was not invented to save lives.
It was invented to "increase operational capability by......."
Tourist you are 100 percent correct.
But don't be a cherry picker...throwing away lives, aircraft and money, through dangerous, complacent and sometimes blatantly stupid working practice, does not do much for operational effectiveness does it?
The MPA saga features elements of all of the above and now we don't have one. Which, as a maritime expert, I would suggest has diminished our maritime security and war-fighting abilities a tad - would you not agree?
so, as usual, it's a question of balance - which means the discussion has merit.
We are drowning in lawsuits and FOI and their outcomes and the costs are crippling our military.
Such costs pale into absolute insignificance when compared to the costs of gloriously **** ed procurement projects.
