"There is a lot of worrying negligence being shown"........................
As also there is a lot of worrying fatigue, overstretch, undermanning and 'sweating' of resources being highlighted in CHIRP and elsewhere.
So PLEASE, before the armchair designers start inventing microswitch activated alerting systems, warning flags, completely new latches etc, can we just keep this ever present common cause of incidents and accidents prominently on the table?
Then maybe the xAAs various may be forced to confront their inaction and timidity in NOT facing up to big business as we pay them big bucks to SUPERVISE on our behalf, whether we are taxpayers or licence-holders!
FATIGUE yet again springs to mind reading of the tragic UPS crash in USA, but the word and the existence of the problem appears to be the elephant in the room which nobody wants to discuss.
And still the awful EASA regs bubble away in the EU cauldron, ready to make the likelihood of HF incidents/accidents MORE likely.
