Flying Lawyer my point in post 1392 was that I would not like to be sitting on the board of the CAA at the moment, particularly as a non exec.
If we are agreed that the role of a non exec is basically corporate governance, as far as I understand they have not asked the question "Are our systems as regards air show regulation fit for purpose?"
I make this comment as there is no reference in the AAIB report of any changes having been made to CAA procedures, the AAIB report does suggest a number of changes are at least desirable.
It could thus be construed that as exhibited, the CAA at least in this part of its operations is not a learning organisation and the Board was quite happy with the arrangements that were in place, not a view I would like to try and support.
The drafting of the final CAA report may well be an interesting exercise.
