The ATSB would like to pay tribute to Macarthur ‘Mac’ Job who sadly passed away on Wednesday after battling cancer for a number of years. Mac was aged 88.

As a highly accomplished aviation writer and air safety consultant over many decades, Mac established a lasting legacy in promoting aviation safety in Australia. Mac’s contribution was recognised with his 2003 award of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) ‘for services to the promotion of aviation safety’.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Mac’s wife, Esma, and his five children.
