The regulator EASA is "european" (what is that "Europe"?), but the BEA is French, as 'Europe' is unable to defend air safety, and French aviation has been destroyed !
EASA - European Aviation Safety Agencywww.easa.europa.eu/ :
"The European Aviation Safety Agency is the centrepiece of the European Union's strategy for aviation safety" (sic)
Pressure are only politic.
You see nice aircrafts, but it is a black and brown story.
If you want to make money choose an other activity than aviation !
If you want to travel in safety, "take the train !" (Tenenbaum Director of DGAC after Habsheim crash)
They are also human problems : in the early 80's automation was going victorious to artificial intelligence . A lot of the very fews of that speciality disapeared with AIDS : today's "intelligence articielle" (IA in French, AI in English not to be confused with Airbus Industry in our threads) is limited in some expert systems, and domestics robots, with exception of chess game. IA needs very long studies mixed to hard work experience. Airbus wanted to do IA, but were not able.
