the FR board is gambling its entire operation on the airline never having a fatal accident attributable to human factors.
And it is a gamble.
Regardless of whether many questionable aspects of RYR's operations are legal or not, what is becoming evident is that many of them border on the very edge of what is permissible (note permissible, not acceptable) and that in itself puts the airline closer to an accident than another which builds margins into their operations.
An 'outstanding' safety record can become an 'appalling' one overnight and once that happens, all bets are off. The mantra
'no one cares as long as they get cheap flights' suddenly loses its currency and serious questions are then asked about how things are run at RYR.
And this time serious answers will be expected.
