TC suggests the "Almighty Dollar" is behind the FAA and NTSB decision on the 737 Rudder problem.

Have not many here argued that is the exact same calculation the Oil Industry and Helicopter Industry enter into when decisions re Safety are made?

When the Certifying Agencies (FAA, CAA, EASA, MOT, CASA) use a definition of "Most Unlikely" (or whatever the term is for a calculation of an event occurring) that would absolutely and without doubt lead to the destruction of the aircraft (killing the occupants), are they not doing exactly the same?

It goes on everyday in this World wherever Helicopters are flying.

If you climb into your Cab at Aberdeen, a PAS Unit, or in the GOM, you are accepting that concept yourself as you know Helicopters are not a perfect science and never will be. You gamble your Life for that pay check.

So how about all y'all quit the Finger Pointing.
