Its not that 2 Grope and STC are unaware; there are and have been many 'low and middle-order' staff who have pointed out the folly of the hierarchy's course of action.
It is just that high-level decisions are made by 'the hiearchy' without consulting the expert advice below them. If, indeed, their airships ever listen to this advice, it all too late, as assurances are often already given to STC/PJHQ/AFB and ministers
"We are cuntent to manage the risk".
What a pants a way to do things!
All this acheives is to show a total lack of inclusive leadership and to waste our valuable ac, along with the lives of our irreplaceable friends!
I am sure, however, that the hierarchy are not devoid of feelings and they do not rest easy at night. Nor should they. It is, however, too late for remorse and they should have thought about that first. Furthermore, they should have the honour and decency to say so. Recompense to the families would also be a start.
God forbid we lose any more.
