I believe there is evidence to show that the sun rises in the east, that night follows day, and that the amount of money spent on air safety is limited by what those who pay for this can afford.
Mr Smith,
Juxtaposing such solid truths in nature against your opinion on safety is really quite ingenious. Well done.
Money can improve safety as in improved maintenance and training, newer aircraft, more facilities eg radar etc; however, unlike the reliability of the sun rising and the setting, people are imperfect and will make mistakes. A good safety culture costs very little. It's all about sensible, rational and logical decision making.
Having said that, Imagine a user pays safety system on the roads. Just imagine what would happen if you had to put 20c in a box at the pedestrian crossing to make the lights change to increase your chances of surviving a road crossing!
Safe flying!
