Is this meant to distract from the dangerous flyover they did?

Transport minister Barbara Creecy has revealed that the collision between an SAA Airbus and a stationary Safair Boeing 737-800 in November 2022 was caused by distracted personnel.

Moons ago.

As per the article ““The tug driver and engineer involved were formally reprimanded and required to attend human factors refresher training,” Creecy said.”

Yeah, when has anyone ever paid attention to human factors training. It's probaby on-line as well so worthless. Also, no change to the process to safeguard against such human failing repeating again as it is bound to

I'm just surprised this isn't an everyday occurrence given the quality of the employment force!

Yeah.

The timing is spot on

 

[Pythonista]

It took them FIVE years to decide this. To me that's the bigger disaster.

You mean they had to watch that DVD of an old training video, featuring the then current 737, 747 and 707, which was made by using one of the few working Umatic machines, to make a very poor copy off onto a VHS tape, which then was transferred to DVD. I have watched similar ones a few times, and you had to laugh at the person explaining, in French, with English subtitles, just how easy it was to pull that pin, when in reality you needed a20kg slide hammer, and around 200 blows by the guy with the biggest arms (basically the guy with arms like most people legs, capable of lifting a V8 small block complete without assistance) to get it out, and put it back in with liberal application of duck snot on it. then the safety video, with parts almost totally illegible, because the original source for that Umatic video was cine film, super 8 from the look of it, and scanned by a drunkard who never bothered to correct framing, or match film speed.

still got a Umatic recorder around, scrapped the one, sent the drum assembly to a guy in the UK to use as a coffee mug coaster.
