Agree entirely to all of the above.
However, I think if there is a big disincentive for potential liability, it would change behavior for the better.
Right now, kill a few hundred non US passengers, liability is at most $1MM per head. That needs to change, stat.
What we need is serious ambulance chasers in the commercial air transport sector such as we had in US general aviation.
Admittedly, they also killed that industry in the process...
Is learning possible in this business??
