Duty of care and acute risk aversion perhaps?
Think that's possibly the case GBZ. I see Lufthansa and another airline have done a couple of probing flights in the last 24 hours. Are we, possibly Boscombe, not doing something similar? Surely it's worth a go in an ejector seat equipped aircraft to see the affects on turbine blades etc? Or are we so risk averse now that not even a test pilot would consider it?
