So, you want to "blame":
- The clerk who queried odd looking numbers in a flight plan.
- All those in ops who knew of this practice and who had not reported this to the authorities.
- All FO's (etc) who have seen this operation before and not raised concern with the authorities.
- etc
This is about culture (and fixing it), and
not about finding a scapegoat and roasting it.
