For they had learned that true safety was to be found in long previous training, and not in eloquent exhortations uttered when they were going into action.

— Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War, c. 404 BC

I’d just like to personally thank the pilots for bringing the suit to the table.
You know back in ’87 after the Challenger disaster, after much hand wringing and brow furrowing, the most probable cause as I remember it was, a cultural shift away from, prove it’s safe then we’ll fly it, to, prove it’s unsafe or we’ll fly it.
The airlines don’t have any original or experienced thinkers left in management that’s long gone to history and of course the FAA never did.
It’s ironic that the airlines recently (the last 40 yrs or so) have looked to NASA (surreptitiously) for baseline guidance in ops areas, basically because they don’t have the knowledge or intellect to do it themselves.
An example was jumping on the NASA bandwagon of Faster, Better Cheaper mantra of the 90’s before they missed Mars twice in a row.
The airlines hung on tight for a while until they could come up with some other motto du jour, and then it quietly died as an endless string have before it (and since), without doing any thing to promote the health or welfare of the business.
I remember over the years in many venues the FAA defending themselves to the NTSB, Committee Hearings, the Press when things went wrong, well we never expected anyone to plan to or operate at the minimums, that’s why we call them the minimums.
The airline management just won’t get it until they have their Challenger.
Don’t give up the fight.
