Capn Laptop,
You are missing the point.
The original question from "tiga" was:-
"Is this being done just to save money by reducing the number of engineers at the expense of safety?"
The answer is:- YES..........
The ONLY reason it is being done is to save money.
Whether or not it is legally required, removing it WILL impact on safety.
Your negative comments about Engineers do you no credit, I could tell you a lot of stories the other way round, but I won't because unlike you LAMEs are professionals.
