Dick has tried to make a point using a somewhat obtuse argument. However his point is valid. He knows that EDTO in two engined airliners is safe. Even airlines say their number one priority is safety but we know that this is is board room lip service, they need to squeeze every cent they can out of an operation. If it was their priority then they would go broke. Even with the CASA QUANGO, high costs and the Aussie love of regulation I'm not sure that our tiny market can support a very large aviation sector anymore, even the US appears to be struggling.
