Then one day the manure hits the air conditioning; the boss is away from the job = incapacitated, and the juniors, trained though they might be, have to carry on and sort it out. Things go from bad to worse and people start asking questions; such as "how could this happen, how could this be allowed to happen." etc. etc. To date this has not yet hit the front pages; oh wait. AF 447. And I am in no doubt that many other near miss are under the carpet. Luck should not be the guiding factor here. Proactive prevention is the name of our game. Oh wait. It costs money.
Bang on! vested interests are pushing their agenda here and the reliability of the equipment is giving them cover. Just follow the money, some people are making millions out this only hire cadets fad. One day people will ask why this was allowed to happen.
