The 'Swiss Cheese Model' has been mentioned a couple of times in this thread with regard to the MK’s previous accidents and it seems to me that this model is being put up almost as an excuse, in defense of, or a reason for the accidents. Whereas, in reality, the Swiss Cheese Model merely tries to explain, metaphorically, a chain of events leading to an accident. The trick, if you like, is to break the chain, or close just one hole.
The fact that MK operate into some less than desirable airports would make the adherence to laid down procedures that much more imperative (because some of the holes are already lined up before they get there!). I mentioned a few airlines in a previous post that have a good track record, they religiously stick to procedures no matter where the airport. Maybe not as flexible as MK, but safer and more expensive. It is the extra expense that is the problem for these types of operators.
