I find it interesting that the jobsworths in the CAA are more interested in smudged text on minor panels and the legalities of deferring worn tyres when they are above legal minimum than they are about the well being of cabin crew. Never, ever have the scumbags in shiny HiViz jackets who have ramp checked me asked about the rosters we are flying, the where's and how's of crew meals and rest periods during a day. The enemy are greedy operators working in cahoots with the oversight authorities. It is a disgrace.
Harsh words? Nor really. Western aviation became safer by reacting to past events. But these events have now been virtually eliminated so we have stopped learning. So to make up for this we are engineering a new set of events. Knackered, worn out crews, underfed, preoccupied with ticking safety boxes on useless forms dreamt up by power hungry scribblies who are totally remote from the sharp end. Kill a few hundred punters with a one or two spectacular incidents and the jobsworths will re-emerge from the bowels of Gatwick Towers and put the world to rights again - but this time it will have been predicted. Avoiding litigation (hopefully criminal) will be difficult this time.
