very well said,and we can honor them best by learning from what happened,and trying to better prepare oursleves.
While as pilots,we might somtimes like to see some 'ass kicking' action in order to get the airport operater/manufacturer/regulator to do the right thing,i am not sure this new trend towards prosecution is the right way forward.I would like to hope that there is still some pioneering zeal(and willingness to self rectify) left in all sections of the industry.
