You get what you pay for, train for.///bold//""emphasis::/)

Probably working two jobs.

Getting complacent.

An extension of the professionalism devoted to flying wouldn't go amiss in ground security, if you really know what I mean. (And we get to pay for it.) Yeah, I know trains transport without it.

Train incident in Egypt...360+ killed because banned cookers are routinely used on vastly over crowded trains and one exploded. Good routinely practised safety measures? I think I remember a DC-3 once declaring an emergency in the Mid-east because of pax lighting a fire in the aisle in order to cook lunch.

In this industry, there is no place for complacency or politics. Or, there shouldn't be.

I am holding my breath.
