I'm glad you said that about Gp Capt Baber. I've said all along that Haddon-Cave was an idiot for naming and shaming him. Baber actually deserved praise for recognising the safety case was poor (inevitable, given the 1993 policy to no longer fund their upkeep) and for letting a contract. That it was poorly managed is a separate matter.

Try telling the MAA that airworthiness precedes FFP! I did, and they told me I was wrong. If you get that wrong, it more or less follows that your entire approach and management structure will be wrong, leading to a misunderstanding about who does what, and who is responsible for the various parts of the Aircraft Document Set. I'd like to think they've changed their minds, but they haven't got round to changing the structure back.
