There is only one issue and that is flight safety and how the industry delivers the best response to the challenges within that remit.
I would argue that the airline industry's response to the issue of alcohol misuse is appropriate and robust, in other words now you could quadruple the money spent on enforce the alcohol rules and only get a 0.5 % increase in positive tests.
It therefore follows that the industry has now to move on to other more pressing issues that will spend the flight safety budget to achive the best increase in flight safety, my personal next flight safety target is the fatigue issue, clearly there are quite a few people on this forum who are in agreement but this is not the only issue that requires attention.
People have to understand that none of these issues are likely to make it to the front page of a newspaper, so should we let the headline writers of the Daily Mail control the flight safety agenda based on what sells newspapers or should we target the industry's flight safety efforts on issues that the statistics indicate will deliver the best improvement in flight safety.
