I would hate to apportion blame until the final investigation is out. But surely the regulating body and /or airport authority must have some accountability here. Its only political pressure and economics that can continue operations over so many years and so many incidents at what is clearly a dangerous airport. If its true ,the mentioning of a judge,s decision being overruled by a higher authority says it all.Why do the very people that are designed to enforce safety often work against the best interests of us all . This is a warning to all regulating bodies that when issues and incidents ( eg fatigue) are complained about , the pilots are not merely crying wolf . You have an obligation to listen and regulate. ( No offence please to the many regulators who are on the right side of the fence and doing there best to protect us all)
