Sideshow Bob;
Sorry if you see it that way, but it is not my intention to berat aircrew. It has always been my aim to ensure that the crews who fly the aircraft are made aware of what the true state of the aicraft is, as seen by specialist such as BAEs, QinetiQ and Eaton Aerospace. This is what I have tied to get across on this thread. However, it has been my expirence whilst posting information on pprune that there some aircrew members who simply do not want to know. I once likened this attitude to the man who believes he has cancer, but is afraid to go to the doctor to have it confirmed. He would rather carry on in the belief that he must be OK because he is still alive.
The crew of XV230 believed their aircraft was safe, because no one had told them of ducting that had been declared "life expired and should be replaced" in June 2005. The crew of XV235 believed their aircraft was safe, because no one had told them about fuel line alignment tolerances and the distortion of seals. And of course no one is telling you that hazard H66 has a risk index of "A" (catastrophic/occasional). This according to the Nimrod Safety Case in an INTOLERABLE tisk.
Finally, your claim that I forget the human side is far from the truth, as I am sure you will discover one day.
