It seems that many posters on this thread believe that their "opinions" trump those of the CAA, AAIB and Flybe's. Both the CAA and Flybe had ample time to consider any risks before this individual's licence was granted/renewed. Following this incident I'm sure that both the CAA and Flybe have reassessed the risks and concluded that they are manageable.
Sadly none of these details will affect the feeding frenzy that some appear to have whipped themselves into, IMHO , and they should just be left to get on with it.
