Although I agree in principle with your very well written article, I have to say that the present circumstances are far from normal and need some "abnormal" interference. I just came back from a ride along Changi Airport and saw the long line of parked 747's . It is a sobering view. So far SARS has not only created havoc in the Asian Aviation Industry, it also creates strong labour disputes in the cockpit, and the next victim could be the safety and CRM in the flightdeck itself!!
