Maybe it is just Tigers' managers soothing British accents, but it is refreshing to hear the responses to the Senators questions being given with calm, measured, non-aggressive, and apparently honest and open answers, additionally without ego or apparent alterior motives.

I agree bob.
One thing that troubles me is that Berry does not seem to be consistent with the other two on the subject of employment of cadets.
Maybe he had dinner with his mate Petteford last night who sees that the writing may be on the wall for his cadet schemes (a term I use loosely).

One of the paytv channels broadcasts this live. Somewhere on my internet searches I found a link that allows you to watch it in much better quality than what is offered through the Government website. Trying to find it again...

And the skull should check who is behind him when he goes into a clinch to beat up on his own employees. One poor bugga is going to get it in the neck by the sounds of things.

what did we miss?
Frank, Mr Hat and those that watched. Anychance of expanding on what we missed today. Sounds like CASA went away with tails between their legs, and intending to kick the dog when back home? The transcripts could be a couple of weeks away.

I did not see much of it at all. The bit I saw was Sen Heffernan asking the question of CASA regarding the sharing of AOC's. Then something to do with someone who works for CASA working also for a charter company or something of the like. There was STRONG objection from one of the other Senators regarding the relevance of this. Heffernan stood his ground and they went into a private meeting.
It seems that the pilot community is still providing regular exposes of the industry to the various Senators even if attention to the Inquiry has gone off the boil.

I'll wait for Hansard before I make any content comment, but I would wager the skull is now seen as the corporate thug he is. Heffernan seems to have his measure.
The conflict of interest matter will be worth watching. I think the skull was put on notice before he could take it on notice. New tactics also worth watching.

wheels_down. They didn't go into fine details but staff numbers were a little low in the safety dept not to mention some certain, and one in particular, A320, which had a considerable amounts of defects (which I believe after some serious work around easter its back in service)
I only caught a little of it but was Buchanan there?
Very interesting that Tiger isn't the only one who had been issued the show-cause, presuming Virgin the other as they rules out QF? More specifically around the time of that nose-wheel incident?
