You lot at the coalface, complaining about safety and falling standards are forgetting a fundamental of airline operational management.
Because you don't understand the business side, and aren't at the head-shed, you can't possibly possess a credible opinion. Only decision that are made in a remote head office, often away from the annoying distractions of operating an aeroplane, can be deemed to be valid and therefore implemented.
If these decisions and practices don't work the way the designer meant them to work, it is your fault for not being able to read minds, or make the unworkable work.
In the history of aviation no idea of merit has originated from outside head office. Every one knows that.
ps, i include myself in the collective "your".
