Bean counter bashing - guilty as charged :-)

Surely, any business is run to maximise profit for the shareholders. That is accepted practise for everybody, except apparently airlines?
Ok i admit I was taking a cheap shot. I just had vision of some bean counter having saved $10,000 on a $xxx Million aircraft deal by not realising that the decision would result in alarmed or confuse passengers.

Its that not realising that would move this into the cock up category - the cash saving would be doing thier job right.

That said if it would require some sort of certification variation to change the messages I imagine it could cost thousands more than my plucked out of the air figure.

So does anyone know why the premable is left in?
