Perhaps the MAA would be more effective if it wasn't obsessed by trivia - every tiny problem seems to require a DASOR, especially the sort of thing that should just be an entry in a tech log or F700.
They must be drowning in useless and pointless data - none of which makes anything any safer - far from it, anyone who has been the 'victim' of an OSI or even lower level investigation will know that the 'just culture' turns into a witch-hunt and erodes trust between the 'four worlds' (God I hate that expression).
Eventually people stop reporting the sorts of things that do need to be reported and real problems get covered up in order to save face or avoid another pointless witch-hunt.
The MAA has turned into the manic cousin of HSE and it provides a horrible outlet for those career-types who revel in bringing others down or those that love spreadsheets, pie-charts and tick-boxes to show just how much safer they are than the 'other-guys'.
Add in all the other barriers to getting airborne - computer-based auths, on-line regulatory and planning documents and and endless stream of QCCs that HAVE to be met (and all of this stops working when Dii is upgraded) plus an ever increasing removal of trust in anyone to just do their job properly and you get a real Flight Safety problem since no-one is in their 'mission-bubble' any more when they walk for the aircraft.
