Passenger view
With constant cross examination of many facets that eventually may not be applicable in this incident, we are still exposing safety considerations which could be included in future equipment, design, operational practices and commercial integrity. If foul play was the cause then that will need to be managed in the industry and politically.
As a passenger I am reassured and intrigued by the debate on this site and my kid entering aerodynamic engineering is learning heaps.
Humans have been flying for barely a 100 years and will continue to learn by mistakes. As a passenger I accept that risk BUT to short cut safety to save 1% or reduce a fare by $50 is not what shareholders or consumers need.
Thanks to everybody for your input.
