The tragedy is that some of the items of dogma could be valid, if discussed reasonably but can’t be heard in the torrent.
Ethiopian airliner down in Africa

bill,
I agree with the above as a wider ranging overview. This is also reflected in reduced levels of experience and views of ‘Expertise’ *.
A wider concern is where these aspects apply to manufacturing design teams and regulators. These people, like pilots, are Children of The New Age’, many not even born before the 737 first flew.
With respect to older designs, is there sufficient expertise, experience in the skills for revising designs and checking levels of safety to justify retention of ‘grandfather rights’ aircraft.
