Safety Concerns,

I sometimes wright briefly so as not to bore readers unduly.

Quote:
The point of my posts is that safety in the industry is a matter for the industry.
Now I don't follow you. Safety is a matter for industry in as much as they must meet the level set by the regulator.
By that I meant the industry in its fullest sense:
-practioners, involving flying crew, maintenance personnel etc.
-regulators

I meant that courts, civil or criminal, are not the best equipped to dictate how to aviate safely. They are necessarily called upon after a failure of the industry to aviate safely, especially where loss of life occurred.

I think that we can all agree that where the law is called upon to investigate and judge an event, with loss of life in particular, there has been a failure to aviate safely. For which somebody carries the responsibilty.
