However a TV programme that investigated what lay behind the safety - not the risks - of air travel would clearly not attract many viewers among the general public.
I'm not sure I agree. IF the program was advertised on a BBC channel in a shocking manner citing safety threats, claiming our pilots are all too tired to fly these days I'm quite sure the general public would watch with interest. The question is what will be the headline, and what evidence will the programme actually reveal?
I'd be interested to know how many actually came froward thus far with facts, if only a few, then of course the programme will have a poor content and less interest, however I think it's too simple to say that the general public, as opposed to the aviation industry, won't watch.
