[QUOTE][/Jetstar, which is still operating flights in and out of Japan, said it was not specifically scanning planes for signs of radioactivity.
"From our perspective, we are continuing safe operations to and from Japan and closely monitoring the situation," a Jetstar spokesperson told Australian Business Traveller.
Qantas said it was not required to scan its planes for radioactivity.
"It is European policy for aircraft to be tested. We are monitoring the situation very closely and meeting all Australian Government requirements. Should this change, we will continue to meet all government requirements," spokesman Simon Rushton said.]

So I guess this means when the regulator say's

No need for fuel tests
No need for pax briefing
No need for crew briefing
And so the list could go on!

Does this mean that it then won't be required because regulation's say you need not, Surely common sense would prevail. You cannot put any cost saving figure on safety the fact is you must spend in the area to keep safety standards high
