Yes. Things only change when enough people have died. We see that across all tribes in all cultures. The airline owners tribe is no different.

I think it is grand what Captain Sullenberger has said after he was given the platform to speak. His abilities to make the most out of the calm waters of the ebbing Hudson tide are of the highest order. He is fortunate to be able to speak out. If he were very young and just made Captain, looking to a long career, he would probably not have been able to speak so freely. Sadly, it will make no difference - YET - it will put a marker in the public record for the next prang and that is good.
