what people are trying to point out to you that the aviation industry is not driven by safety; it is run as a commercial operation where profits are put ahead of true safety.
Absolutely true. However, the point being made was, "why wasn't a test flight carried out first?" Would you agree that a test flight is required for MEL items? Are we placing passengers "at risk" by departing thus?
My historical posts are absolutely clear on flight safety and organizational issues including profit-before-safety issues. However, the challenge from sandbank was as stated above and it is a misconception of how a mechanical is handled. The comments are not only not harsh, they are largely, though not wholly, instructive.
