I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

[*]A safety stand-down until things are in order?
Safety stand-downs are usually called after an accident. What is the relevance of calling a safety stand-down 2 1/2 years after the event?

It would also be naïve to assume that the evidence of improper seat maintenance procedures only emerged during the inquest. Problems revealed during the inquest will have been addressed as soon as they were discovered, had that not been the case do you imagine the Reds would have flown 2 season since?

would it be feasible for those concerned to continue flying with the team
Regardless of the inquest, how many of the 2011 team are still with the Reds in 2014, or even still in the RAF?
