When you do watch these repeats, ask yourself again what has been done to prevent reoccurrence? The same Mark I pilot is in the front and the bits and pieces around him haven't changed much. But the pilots are now working harder, longer hours, have worse terms and conditions and in the majority of cases, no union representation whatsoever. For the airlines, the pressure on them has never been greater. Passengers are paying less, handling fees are greater, competition has never been so fierce and they, unlike any other form of transport, get fined if they are late or cancel. The regulators now hide behind huge desks somewhere in Euroland and expect the airlines to self regulate.

After each programme, ask yourself if air travel is safer?
