Doesn't matter, Chief pilots and HR will continue to end run the FAA through exemptions, loop holes...continue to hire scared little robot marsh mellows that just want a seat in the aircraft.
Maybe it's always been that way, I don't know, and I am starting not to care. They will keep crashing planes for dumb reasons, people will keep getting killed, and they will keep making excuses for why people die. In the mean time, instead of putting better pilots in the cockpit, they will continue to try to make a better box that does all the flying...the answer of course being that the box flies better then a pilot...except if you have ice, or a jack screw problem, or any other non SOP, non robot response in the checklist, that requires a solution from a pilot...but gosh..that never happens right? So keep stuffing kids in the cockpit, insure each seat for a million bucks, then if there is a crash, tie it up for YEARS like Eastern did...who cares....when it all goes south, loot the company, short the stock go bankrupt. FAA doesn't care, SEC doesn't care..and most importantly the passengers just want a cheap tick anyway...
