If Pilot Error is now an offensive non-PC term then how come in Flight International 8-14 Sept page 16, the headline is "China Airlines 737 Fire was due to Maintenance Error" with Japan's Transport safety Board (JTSB) confirming that a fire which destroyed a China Airlines Boeing 737-800 in August 2007, was due to Maintenance Error".
Perhaps the venerable JTSB have never heard of the famous James Reason and his Swiss Cheese theory on the cause of aircraft accidents. "Maintenance Error" indeed. Wash that man's mouth out..
