The balance between safe operation and bean counter driven bottom line commercialism needs to be carefully considered by CHIRP. Their prime focus should be upon safety concerns, untainted by political or commercial pressure. Perhaps that's naive, but right now I think that CHIRP has lost focus in this regard.
It puts me in mind of a colleague who went for an interview with a 'big airline' at a time when they preferred 'managers' to 'pilots'. As he already had an offer of employment from another airline, he was in a 'What the hell' mood...... He was asked which was more important to an airline - operations or management. "Simple", he said, "Operations!". When that brought a few grey stares and mumbling amongst his inquisitors, he continued "Poor management might possibly hurt a few shareholders, but poor operations will certainly kill a few passengers. I don't wish to work for any airline which doesn't understand that, so good-bye!!"
