NoD - agreed, but it seems to me as a complete outsider that there's a big list of things which need to be checked, all of which are mission critical, and so they all need to be checked, not just some of them. I take the point that is coming across loud and clear on here from industry professionals that pressure is applied by the "beancounters" to do ever more with decreasing resources and not a lot of time to do them but surely the choice is this: be safe, or be on time. Again in my own work (an entirely different field but there are some comparable aspects) I have faced equivalent situations and firmly said "no - we are doing this the right way not the quick way". Or am I wide of the mark with this comparison?
