Considering UK airspace is the most expensive in the world, I’m not surprised that airlines are p1ssed at the meagre 4hours of backup flight data.
I recognise the arrogance of senior management not understanding the the difference between proactive problem management and reactive incident management*, their Hazard Identification and Risk Management team must be as weak as dish water.
*I’m sure they do now though…

the system functioned as deigned.
However...
The requirements failed to identify a specific scenario that should be able to be resolved by the system. Therefore the system failed safe (as per the design).
Nothing more here than an expensive lesson learned with regards to scenarios that probably should have been considered.See You Next TuesdayComment

I am actually surprised about this, as I worked for an aerospace company and have spent a good few days in Hazard Identification workshops going through scenarios with a fine tooth comb (I was the ITIL rep).
Really, they must be crap at this."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Oh the irony. When I submitted my reply above, I got an error from CUK:
Invalid SQL: DELETE FROM cuk_cacheevent WHERE `event` IN ('nodeChg_4273261','nodeChg_4273064','nodeChg_19', 'nodeChg_16','nodeChg_2','nodeChg_1') /**cacheevent**/;
But we can be sure this error won't prevent subsequent posts from being made on here.Comment
