They are also spending money installing EFB's and HUD/EFVS systems. No liability issues there either.
Sir, I dispute that. Especially HUD/EFVS is a insurance issue, it gives visability to prevent air and ground damage to aircraft. Not to mention cargo reliability/liability. To promise freight on time is a huge liability!
Can not argue that with a machine (company) this size that fire supression that protects a cargo that is a considerable portion of the aircraft's value is not a liability to deliver with the amount of flights they operate.
A payout to the surviving families of a crashed cargo aircraft is pennies on the dollar compared to the insurance savings of cargo and airframe....
