However (there’s always one of those, isn’t there….) - however, I don’t think people need to be ‘qualified’ to comment. I wonder, what actually is a comment qualification, and how does one get it?
So by not being qualified then incorrect and misleading information is being passed to the public as qualified comment.
I think that in this instance somebody with airline experience, who understands safety cases and who has operated with this policy (ie subject matter experts) would be qualified to comment.
