Sir George, I would agree with you had it been the main Airport but this is a small satellite field. Landing fee's are less, Passenger handling fee's are less. The Airport authority has less to spend on safety programs. Its part of the low cost model and It is part of the deal you make when you buy your ticket.
You can't keep chipping away at the bottom and then look shocked when the top falls down.
Ps. Kudos to the crew, I've no doubt their quick and calm decision saved lives.
