NASA 'Schedule Driven' management culture blamed for Shuttle disaster.

From the BBC:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3174963.stm

Amongst other things the investigators wrote:

"little by little, Nasa was accepting more and more risk in order to stay on schedule,"

Now, who can honestly say that this does not happen in some airlines these days? Are some carriers not 'schedule driven' ?

Disaster as it was the Shuttle killed seven people.

I wonder how many airline executives will hoist the points in this report on board.
