Brave statement! but doesn't hold much water. Manufacturer builds aircrafts on a design philosophy and they need to be operated by procedures that are based on that. Operator who knows nothing about it cannot throw them to the winds. Yes there can be some regional necessities which require some variations. But they should be done after consultation with the manufacturer. Air Asia Indonesia crash was mainly due the captain trying to reset CBs not authorised by manufacturer. No line pilot however brilliant has the training to do things reserved for a test pilot.
