An excellent read for those wanting to understand where this ultimately leads is;
The Normalisation of Deviance-The Challenger Launch Decision
The aggressive style of management, driven by PERSONAL incentives pares away at the layers of safety built from years of operational experience.

The engineers have stated it publicly, us pilots are also of the same opinion. It will take a long time to undo if it can be undone at all. In the interim we all hope (some 35,000 employees) our passengers and probably even shareholders that through some twist of fate, despite all the cutting and focus on short term incentives we avoid the fate that such behaviour delivered to the Challenger and NASA.
