heavy.airborne;
If you read my post carefully, you will understand that I never stated that "sterile" on the ground would be easy or even doable - I said that it had never been addressed as it has while the aircraft is under way. I proposed some approaches because it is in this period that preparation errors can, as we have seen, lead to serious consequences and I acknowledged the problems with such solutions, which problems are primarily commercially driven as you have clearly demonstrated. "On time" is not a flight safety priority; "Ready" is. Commercial priorites are important and the balance between the two is achievable if it is managed well and supported with airline policy as I mentioned above. I am trying to open a dialogue here.
Why do you suppose this kind of error continues to occur and what's your proposal to resolve the issue?
I really don't know why I bother here anymore.
