Someone stated that airlines will do anything to avoid a crash (Permafrost ATPL?).
Over here in the US, some narrowbody airframes might be insured for up to about half a billion dollars. If insurance is affordable and the Upper/Middle Mgmt. 'gentlemen' at my top-notch airline now have their hands on the hundreds of millions worth of free company stock, just what incentive do they have to feel responsible for an aircraft (loaded with women and children) which runs out of luck, connected to the insatiable financial greed which led to uncontrolled outsourcing, by way of unbridled contempt for invaluable staff experience?
The corporate top dogs here only care about data and numbers, some are 'armed' with law degrees and speak only using grossly-distorted half-truths and lies to the media. Therefore, they can always pin liability on the pilots or others who are considered the Untouchables. This appears to be their job.
