Some very interesting statements!
I have said it before but but will again, the whole CTC, Eaglejet type schemes plus cut to the bone cost cutting by the airlines themselves will not end until somebody on such a scheme or an airline involved with rampant cost cutting is involved in either a major incident or a fatal accident.
Once this happens it will be placed in the hands of the AAIB, and as the AAIB seems to leave no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of these events things will eventually be brought to the public forum.
The media will have an absolute field day and it will be put down to a one off and the UK's excellent accident statistics will be quoted and it will all go away. It will then happen again and the above proccess will start all over again.
The insurers will then start to get involved and a minimum experience level for crews will be levied on aircraft type, weight etc. The airlines want to save costs but so do the insurers and It doesn't take a genius to work out who will win. It will take a few muti million pound insurance claims to start the ball rolling.
I haven't mentioned the CAA yet, there is no point as they are no longer an authority more an administration, there just to look after the paperwork and nothing more.
