Now let us get his thread back to Dave.
The CAA process must run it's course and we must hold faith that the humanity with which Dave acted will ultimately be recognised and met with 'just culture' approach.
Hang in there Dave!
I'm glad someone mentioned a 'Just Culture'.
"Just Culture" is a culture in which front-line operators and others are not punished for actions, omissions or decisions taken by them which are commensurate with their experience and training, but where gross negligence, wilful violations and destructive acts are not tolerated.

But that link is from Euroland I hear you say. Ok here's one from New Zealand;
Other barriers to the successful adoption of Just Culture standards include rogue management selectively applying some principles, turning a blind eye to incidents, losing sight of the requirements and/or jumping to conclusions before reviewing all the facts.
Historical patterns of behaviour that remain unchallenged for years can become “normal” behaviour, which defeats a Just Culture.
