Should their statistics be added to CAsA's tally?? or to road safety tally??
Thorn Bird,
Of course, the answer is yes, and when FAA does proper cost benefit tradeoff studies, it included just such costs.
An example, some years ago, Cabin Crew unions were demanding that young children should have a seat allocated, with a safety seat for very young children/babies, and no sitting on parent's laps.
The FAA CBA showed that the cost, in lives and injuries, from car crashes, from families that would no longer would be able to travel by air, far outweighed any remote chance of a young child surviving an air crash, because they were sitting in a seat and not on mum's lap.
Tootle pip!!
