Well there you go.

PLEASE tell me that some of you who insist this is NOT a safety issue, are now convinced it IS sadly very much a safety issue.

How any reasonable person could say it is NOT a safety issue is beyond me.

Surely 2 independent inspections MUST be safer than 1 inspection, whether it is by one Pilot OR one Engineer. It may well be more costly, but it MUST be safer.

IF the fact that you are Captains, and you think it offends you, the same would apply if they proposed to do away with the Pilot's inspection, it would be LESS SAFE than now if ONLY LAMEs did the inspections, it is NOT a reflection on Pilots.

Four eyes are better than two.

And I don't mean people wearing glasses should do all the preflights either.
