Whenever we talk about FR it's the same debate about guys with 200h in the cockpit and a disaster waiting to happen. P2F is immoral (and in many countries probably illegal), but it simply doesn't have anything to do with safety. I understand why unions are against it (and I support them), but the safety angle is BS.
