Yes, safety items do cost money, some quite a bit. But if an organization focuses on avoiding safety measures because of that cost it has very serious legal implications. That is the point I am making. And I certainly agree with the importance of accountability for one's actions. But this is a case where we still don't have all the facts as to whether or not the operator could have reasonably prevented the accident. There is not much of a case for personal accountability for the accident if in fact he was not aware of the medical condition. Medical conditions disable pilots on a regular basis, including some who die, tragedy is avoided because there are 2. Right now all we are doing is guessing, this is a long way from being settled. |
