this bloody accident

Yes it is poor management because that freakin cable car should not have been in operation. And apart from that two pilots where in the cockpit - one high timer and one low timer - those are the facts. So in my opinion, the high timer is responsible for what the low timer did or not.

How much guts and imagination does it take for a freakin cable car company to suspend operations for at least the duration of flight operations? It is a safety matter. Apply the 5M model if you ever heard of this.

It is always greed that prevails instead logical reasoning because the cable car company might loose a few hours on revenue...bollocks

Loads come off hooks its a given and one is lucky if it does not hit anybody. It would have only hit a stupid metal cage if it weren't for the passengers in there...that's the tragedy and arrogance that comes with it. If the pilot(s) will be guilty then I say the cable car company is guilty as well.

If this statement is too harsh then I apologize...but this had to be said.
