I like your post AirRabbit but I need convincing that the mature and measured attitude you display will help in any way unless you yourself are the head of an airline.
the potential is that the separation of interests is going to be, and remain, the center of all attention.
At a core level there should be no separation of interests. After safety, we should all be concentrating on the commercial elements regardless of what role we play in the company. Problems arise when some within the company purport to be pursuing safety and then economy , in that order, but their actions prove otherwise.
It is true that a leadership has an influence on the way a group, (be it a nation, a sports team, or a company) behaves. Until we have an effective way of ensuring that the people responsible for developing and maintaining the cultures of our pilot groups are skilled at doing this, aviation safety will continue to flat line as it has since the nineties.
