As one of the people who have “had a go” as you put it, at Mr Schultz, I would re-iterate what I previously said. Whether or not he is a superb kit-man, wonderful gopher or anything else, I would say that, if those duties interfere with his main role as Chief Safety Officer, then he is taking on too much. The fact remains that, as Chief Safety Officer, he is ultimately responsible for the stewards and, ipso facto, for the way in which they conduct themselves. All I have asked from him is a statement that he, as Chief Safety Officer, does not condone the behaviour of certain members of his team and an assurance that action will be taken to ensure that such behaviour by stewards will not be condoned by ASFC in the future. No such assurance has been forthcoming, so I am left to draw my own conclusions.
