Safety Last
'Worrals' I agree that such an incident would not be the first and at this rate wont be the last in Australia. Sadly any attention or focus within an airline ends to center on the Drivers upfront and very little else.
The reality is that this sort of incident will one day result in a passenger jet not getting off the ground and ploughing into a residential estate, airport infrastructure or an adjacent ocean to an airport. The risk of a stall or aircraft entering an undesired state also should be added to the list.
To put it bluntly, I dont know how the ATSB is keeping up with the investigations of these sort of occurences, surely they must be recruiting of late so they can get through the ever increasing workload?
The safety standards of aviation within Australia is slipping by the week. We all know whats next around the corner dont we ?
