The drivers (OK, I understand the source of the metaphor now) will not be heard because they can't tell whether their aircraft is safe or not.
me, we're doomed.
Minnie Burner, I did not say that, nor did I imply it. I simply pointed out that aircrew do not always have the full picture when it comes to safety.
I should add that SAFE means ALARP and tolerable, and the collision risk for Typhoon is not ALARP. Even the DG believes it is "questionable"; not a firm endorsement.
