Pitch up authority well said.
Funny how jo public wants the cheapest but wants 5 star service.
When airfares were "well" priced maintenance was exemplary pilots well trained & not of a psychotic nature. ( yes some exceptions) so if Jo public wants/expects someone " driving" he can trust he better be prepared to pay for it!
Oh as for the 2 man rule. Well that has made it easier for those that wish us harm to get in on the act so to speak.
