SLFinAZ;

You are of course entitled to your personal opinion, and that is all it is.

You range over a number of current, high-profile issues without understanding and without gathering your thoughts carefully then setting them out in your post. In doing so you have not addressed the issues raised nor refuted the arguments made in support of the present approach to collecting and using safety information. There is a long historical approach to this work which has proven very successful in this industry; - you need to make yourself aware of such history and processes before launching. Nor have you demonstrated any success coming out of the punitive approaches you advocate.

Cooler minds need to guide this process so that accidents like the Colgan accident do not occur again. Your approach, while offered with, I believe, good intentions, (prevention through punishment), will bring about exactly the opposite effect, leaving the commercial aviation industry, and those we carry, wide open for another such accident.

The approach is not a "get-out-of-jail-card" but traditional enforce-and-punish approaches are not the way to continue the improvement in flight and passenger safety.

Please think about this and especially re-read the thread carefully. If you can still state without hesitation or emotion that punishing-rather-than-comprehending will make the industry safer, then you need to start researching this and providing the forum with information which supports such a view, because the evidence is entirely contrary to both your understandings of how the industry makes itself as safe as it is, and your opinion in particular.

Offered with respect,
