Warning about what exactly?
This thread is about the possibility of engine cowels being unsecured? Have you been warning about that for a long time?
When was the last death directly attributable to UK commercial aviation? Whose generation was it?
If CVRs and FDRs had been available for the last 50 years would the current generations be able to sit here and pick apart the flying skills and decision making of previous generations? Would they discover some howling errors? Would they be amazed with what older generations have gotten away with? Have the sands of time covered over these errors to the extent that they will never be on public record, unlike current incidents/accidents?
I'm very sure that most pilots on here, of all generations, can uncomfortably point to errors over their careers that may possible have led to something a lot more serious had other variables lined up. They/we got away with them due to luck and good fortune. Nothing else!
The older I get the better I was...!
