The US Submarine captain and crew that killed those Japanese people near hawaii because they had guests on board and they didn’t follow proper procedure for surfacing.
“Is your point that it’s o.k. to give the controls of an airliner to a kid?”
No, my point is that when guests are present few people act at work like they would when there are no guests there… are you going to judge a whole airline (or in my example a whole navy) on the actions of one captain? (for who else should take responsibility?)
“Now, you can call this “something to laugh about in the pub”, but as far as I’m concerned I will avoid this carrier like the plague. “
Does an airline exist that has a perfect record… with no crashes or incidents? …I guess you must walk a lot.
“Maybe u go and laugh about that in the pib….but the authorities and the airline wont do that.”
Please reread:
But surely the main difference between crashes and incidents is that the first involves a good likelyhood of injuries and or death, whereas an incident might just be something you laugh about when you get to the pub.
Note the words “might just be”. If you think safety comes from sour faced airline reps that crack down hard on every little thing then I am glad I don’t work for you. Do you really think such attitudes make the world a safer place? Obviously you have to be professional about things, but being professional and being anal are not the same thing.
So are you suggesting an airline will only change after they kill some 100 people?
And you say no perfect airline exists….of course they do, Air Tahiti Nui, Jet Airways and some more.
