OMG what does that make me psycologically F3G?
Empathy = in a healthy spectrum, IMHO.
On the subject of universal procedures, that is a good idea.
I guess my cynical comment is will some of these airlines/regulatory bodies actually enforce? e.g. the UK is always bringing in new laws, e.g. don't talk on mobiles whilst driving, but where is the enforcement? I use the UK as an example in a general sense, as I know the aviation regulator does enforce.
Given the choice, there are some airlines I will not use, but the business traveller's dilemma is that one sometimes cannot, so I do understand why you stick to UK airlines.
I have to weigh the risk each time and this can be very difficult without inside info, as some carriers with a history of hull losses have top class products and service and this can give a misleading impression.
However, I still think you make a very good point.
