Steward died after falling off stairs positioned on a Trident in Rome when guard rail collapsed which hadn't been secured.
Irish accident report a couple of years ago where girl lost a leg because of incorrectly positioned air stairs.
After the report was published flew into Eidw as SLF late at night during near gale to disembark on stairs without jacks screwed down.Stairs rocking side to side. My report ignored and eventually spoke to the ops inspector who considered that I have an axe to grind against carrier.
Don't as my wife is flying with them next week but do have a grudge against authorities who could do more to prevent such tragedies.
