Bomarc: Save lives?
You must be kidding. That might affect operating costs.
Most airlines are so well-insured for an aircraft hull loss that they and the FAA understand the cost/benefit ratios used in the present outsourcing madness.
The only goal right now is to save money, no matter what the effect on flight operations safety. Any Pprune readers who do not believe this should read about what tragedies (and near-tragedies this winter) happened since 1978 in the US which can be directly linked to US airline deregulation. One of our jets almost took off this winter with only ONE wing de-iced.
The de-icing crew apparently missed it, but luckily the passengers noticed and spoke up.
