That cost saving is looking very expensive right now. The backstory will be in MBA textbooks in the future.
Agree completely with this summary. Add in
‘Lets get this through and share as little information as possible because we don't want to answer technical questions in case they shine a light on the certification short cut we've just about managed to pull off. Pilots won't notice the difference anyway.’
All about money.
