I was the one that wrote that comment. However, you missed my point entirely, for which I apologise if I wasn't clear. I wasn't stating my preference (I'm very much in favour of people that are in control of my life being properly trained, regardless of actual job). I was stating what the likely response from the airlines is going to be. The current environment everywhere is to cut back on training, which is considered to be expensive, and externalise the risk somewhere else. Hence, I predict that the call will go out from the airlines for ILS to be active on every major airport, because that externalises the risk onto the airport operators. It also means that the costs are borne by someone else, and the airlines' profits (and so boards' bonuses) are safe.

I predict this will happen regardless of the outcome of the crash inquiry. The question is, what are you, as professional pilots, going to do about this to ensure that you and I are *properly* safe?
