Tinribs: Until this accident it still was (I was told). When I left BAE, lots of steps were being made to address this issue too.
A lot of time and effort were finally being applied to this problem which was well known (a tad late in my opinion).
Sadly, most of us who have been/are in the industry (civil or military) could probably point at other 'known' issues - Haddon-Cave all over again.
Sad too that it takes a body count. There are no winners - except perhaps the bean-counters (in the short term).
