BOAC
Thank you for the reference. It is interesting that the CAA chose to 'discuss' the matter with the airline and I concur with your 'rubber teeth' response.
I shall continue to offer my services (free of charge of course!) to any airline that would like me to, but the safety aspect does concern me. I think I'm right in believing that the Captain is ultimately responsible for the safety of everyone on board his aircraft and therefore I wonder why it is not part of the FRC's?
I would hate for a Captain to be found culpable of manslaughter (or whatever the Lawyers would say) simply because his Chairman put a few pounds before pax safety.
Kind regards
Terry
