@ExSp33db1rd



I feel that I must have missed something here, but nothing about my comment had anything to do with suicide. The only point I wanted to make was that when someone claims that they...

There is something about that statistic I really do not like. It might tell us how good the selection filter is, but it might also be telling us how doggedly they hold to their initial, possibly...

@Pace



This is something I have thought about a lot WRT to things like the Space Shuttle, but it seems just so hard to solve. I recall reading somewhere that when they designed the Shuttle...

@slicer



The astonishing thing with these kinds of checks is that they seems to rarely be tested, when this is comparatively easy to do, and the results are so useful. I recall reading a story...

@McRotor96



It is seeing yet another knee-jerk reaction that worries me. You may well be correct, but I would have thought making this change and doing it correctly would require a fair amount...

@SLFplatine



So your thesis is that had the German medical system not kept the pilot's confidentiality then he would have been prevented from flying. You may be right, but you must also accept...

Silverstrata: I’m completely with you when you say that secondary culpability needs to rooted out, and that dangerous madmen should be locked up. What I’m not sure about is whether you are also...

That is a really encouraging to hear.
