An interesting and thought provoking comment Danny.
I would have thought that if your comments are true the first action that the regulators must take is to withdraw the Low Visibility Approval for the companies concerned while they review their training and procedures.
As far as stifling discussion is concerned, I cannot think what you are taking about, surely no airline (worth an AOC) would compromise safety for profit now would they? Anyway how would they do that in a free society?
