I concur with those who approve of the publishing the names of the passengers on PPRune, and am at a loss to see why people are offended or embarrassed by it. It can only be a good thing for professional aviators to remember that breakdowns in air safety result in death to real people. I find it both sobering and honouring of the dead to read a list of those lost. I hope I never reach a stage where aviation fatalaties are merely a number - every person lost is a tragedy for the individual and a personal heartbreak to countless families and friends. I commend the publishing of lists like this, and it makes me more determined than ever to provide a safe operation in my own sphere of influence. By depersonalising aviation accidents we run the risk of losing the true measure of the responsibility we carry.
