I am not suggesting anything of the sort !!! It is human nature to push and push, and I am just worried that commercial pressures will result in us pushing this too far. Look at the NASA Challenger accident, the engineer suspected there could be an issue with the O Rings, but was quickly over ruled due to pressure to get the shuttle airborne.

For the people who were quick to come to the conclusion that I was making inflammatory comments towards BA, I hope this can clarify my position.

These are testing times, and we are all in agreement safety should never be compromised. So lets see how this unfolds....

All i know is ASH and Turbine Jet Engines don't get on well together.
