what about the lawyers etc?
Also maybe, is the nature of Flight and humans.
MONEY and LAWYERS etc.
the lawyers always get paid..for fighting for and against then issue.
If the issue cannot be criminalised, then they cant get their pound of flesh as the investigation would be conducted by " Specialists".
How to get the "Big" fish to pay legal costs other than file for defamation (and be known as coffin mongers in the bargain) is to "treat an aircraft accident as a road accident" and Pilots like drivers in a hit and run case.
The vested interests or reasons to criminalise Aircraft Accidents would also appear to be a mix of the following:-
1. Insurance not wanting to pay. (or Maybe delay payment and use funds elsewhere)
2. The Legal guys knowing that the victims families have a windfall, and a soft spot for the decased which brought it about,
3. The company accountable manager wanting to have a scapegoat " Who caused it all,...( After all, he was criminally indicted of the error...)",
4. The aircraft companies having a reduced liability..(Unless it was a design flaw) again by their legal departments..
5. The anti pilots lobby who think that pilots are overpaid for their jobs and must be fixed whenever opportunity knocks. While that is not possible with the Aircraft Act Or similar legislation, put it through the penal code.
6. Also helps the managers to "control pilots" maybe...
