Glofish, you are to be commended for an excellent overview of the current state of flight safety in the aviation industry.
There is a lot of rubbish published on Pprune ( eg the silly remark about 'go and play golf'), no help whatsoever and rather childish.
Fortunately, it is worth coming to Pprune to read balanced and well thought out posts across a whole variety of issues.
And let us hope that some of these 'bean counters' do take the time once in a while to review these serious posts. Well done.
