OAP,
On the basis that the civil sector delivers a vast daily flying task, out of all proportion to anything the combined militaries of the world can muster, and does so with the sky-high safety figures so often quoted (reportedly involving no camera-induced fairground rides), would it not be advisable for the RAF's transport fleet to become MORE civilian in its approach? After all, these were 2 military pilots operating on a military-flagged sortie.
Not my view, you understand- just pointing out the gaping hole in the logic of your incessant complaint.
