A knee jerk reaction by the pollies.
What about enforcing some minimum wage structures and enforcing flight and duty times? That might actually achieve some good for all involved.
As an aside is there a register kept for the performance of doctors, surgeons, pharmacists etc? Something that the public might be able to access so that they can assess which health professional they choose to visit.
Oh that's right, the medical profession might kill more people per year than are killed in airline crashes but they do it one by one and the general public never gets to hear about it, therefore there's nothing in it for the pollies.
