safety, comfort, economy

This was Ansett's approach to flying. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
There are many ways of achieving this outcome.
A strict adherence to safety is paramount. How this is achieved varies.
I think a few egos are on the line here. Personal insults are not the most constructive method of discussing any subject.
Maybe we all like to think our method is best and no-one else has the right approach? CRM has changed things a little.
Pride in doing a job to the best of your ability should be high on the agenda.
I have heard of pilots coming out of a coroner's inquest as totally changed individuals. A good lawyer can tear you apart.
I was told many moons ago we need to be error conscious, not necessarily error free.
Food for thought. Sunday morning ramblings.
Cheers
