Glofish, your take on the issues are valid. Effective risk control is founded on an effective health and safety management system but that differs from country to country. We can look to frequency and severity data to judge risk but in most cases it is only after an accident when exhaustive investigation into casual factors, failures of compliance, proficiency and decision making processes results in remedial action.

Whilst we agree safety is paramount let us not forget the complex interaction of pilot and technology indicated a landing in Dubai which the A380 didn't achieve.
