In the recent Grand Canyon incident the machine caught fire, so if flying over land should we wear fire suits like the F1 drivers & train the pax on SCBA use? Should we install automatic fire suppression system on the machine?

Of course we should but it’s not required by law so we don’t, if we did most tourist operators would probably be broke overnight. We need to lower the risk of each flight to “an acceptable level”, the moral dilemma is how acceptable can we be & still function?
