"Affordable Safety" = 'Your Safety Will Be Enhanced and It Will Cost You Less'.....

WE ALL agree that Safety is paramount....and should be managed EFFECTIVELY.

If you cut down TOO much on the 'affordable' bit - in the interest of what I shall describe as a 'Bean Counters Economy Drive', where the overall consideration is favouring the $$$'s - and trying to make a 'name' for themselves and pocketing the subsequent 'Savings Bonus'....

(And this is not necessarily describing nor is it confined to the aviation industry...)

Then try having an 'accident' and see what the difference is............

It seems some 'heads do roll', perhaps some names do change, giving the ILLUSION of progress, then the 'apathy' of the dollar pinching recommences under a different guise, and usually under a different CEO who, before being appointed, showed SOooo much promise.......

And of these, we have had sooo many....

We will wait and see THIS time.......will some 'Common Sense' prevail..??
