BizDev and about 90% of the rest have told it to you straight. We pride our industry and the professional standards of the people in it (CAA, EASA, Pilots, engineers, dispatchers and all). We have expensive and time consuming practices that make our industry as safe as possible. Every "journo" article about avaition I have read is invariably full of misquotes. innaccuracies and simple untruthes. So back off this one
I would hate to read another similar article.
