underfire, I think everyone concerned with safety and its improvement where and when improvement is shown to be needed agrees: excuses have no place. But you're reaching for the disciplinary rod before enough facts have been determined. Again, after Colgan, the Board chairman strongly advocated for recognition of fatigue as a contributing factor. Obviously the Colgan crew paid a kind of disciplinary penalty of the ultimate kind. But you seem to be saying, "to identify all the facts and to find all the causal links and causal factors is the same as just sloughing off crew responsibility". You didn't use those words of course, but why the insistence that relentlessness in finding all the facts means anyone wants to shrug off the crew's responsibility?
