...exactly! I think we all agree of the double standards. Well, if we are as good as we feel proud to be, lets give the first step forward. THEN we can demand the same from others. That is the problem that we always fall short of making a commitment to follow up what happens next.
More people are killed or injured by doctors ,nurses and others ( 100,000 a YEAR only in the States )than all pilots together do in a life time. Well now , very slow very slow , SOP standards , check lists and same **** we all do every day not to crash, is being implemented at some hospitals. It is not up to the Macho Doctor who's Ego and CRM things are or will be done. Outside the industry everyone is at least 50 years behind in all those matters we are scrutinized every single day.
Lets be the example and fight back so that EVERY ONE is measured by the same rules and law. We should have nothing to fear. We need to be proactive not reactive. Just imagine we all around the world accept ( DEMAND)a check not only randomly but precisely with the only condition that all at all areas of our community do the same after we all pass. More than one would freak out and would backlash to those who like to play politics to get elected or reelected. That means to be proactive!
At the end society will be benefited of having a less tolerant criteria against drugs. Cannabis ? Just cannabis? Well now a days SO many do it and other stuff ,that it has become a cancer that is killing so many directly or indirectly. Well much more than air crashes do. And that is what is all about saving lives regarding who gets the credit, which it is not important at all.
