For whom the real bell tolls
Mike C, welcome. Your first post is succinct, factual and contains 'root cause'! Well done sir. Here is the key to the Tim Tam cupboard, your 2 free hours....starts.....now!!
Mi mi mi - Apart from the fact that Beaker is a complete Muppet, in actuality he is nothing but a departmental accountant. He received his role as ATsB Commissioner as a reward for being a loyal subservient head bureaucrat for many years. He knows how to cover a Ministers ass, and he knows how to do it well, hence his being gifted his Chief Commissioner role, a reward.However, he knows SFA about aviation, investigative methodology and risk and it shows, my oh my it shows.
As Sunfish would say; 'to put that another way' - One of the worlds greatest dickheads was put in charge of one of the worlds best investigation agencies and put in charge of possibly one of the worlds most important accident investigations. It is of no surprise to me that it has all ended in tears. The MH370 investigation is an utter joke and the ATsB as it currently stands is an utter joke. This is what Dolan's legacy will be. Despised by the aviation industry, despised by his people, and despised by the Senators. The beard on/beard off conceited clown will not be missed and not be remembered for one single achievement. He has fuc#ed up MH370, Pel Air, numerous local incident investigations and re-rated accident and incident categories. All colossal screwup's under his tenure. Then he allowed some of the worlds best investigators to become redundant and single handedly along with Walsh and his Board turned the worlds second best investigation bureau into a lamentable joke, a laughing stock at home and internationally. That my friends is the legacy of Martin 'Beaker' Dolan.
Pumpkin Head - This all took place under the watchful and approving eye of Mike MrDak, the senior bureaucrat on $800k per year, a man who has entrenched himself in the political system and been allowed to operate free from restraint and at his own will. A man who was trained, raised, and nurtured in politics and after more than 20 years has become the centrepiece of the 'iron ring'. The entire despicable system needs to be pulled down before the damage and rot go further.
The Hooded One - Yet again Hoody inherits a steaming pile of dung. Third time lucky. Hopefully after his experiences at CAsA and ASA and after now receiving the ATsB top job Hoody will have the chains removed and actually be allowed to fix something. Farkwitson and Skull were his blockage at CAsA and Harfwit was his blockage at ASA. If anyone can fix Dolan's mess it is Hoody. I even think the Senate like him and believe he can make changes, but only if he is in the drivers seat, which he now is. The first thing will be to get Carmody's backing and get around MrDak. Then Hoody needs a bigger pot of money from the new Miniscule to pay for new Inspectors, new skills and training, new layers of management, redundancies for all the crap that hangs on in the ATsB, and a few spare bucks for whatever else it takes to earn back our once envious reputation for investigative excellence. The next 4 years will be the peak of Toga Boys career, it's up to him whether he wants to really go out on top (so to speak), or be remembered as just another trough dwelling bureaucrat not worth pissing on.....your call Greg.
Until change occurs - Tick Tock Hoody, tick tock.
