I hate to say this but had UPS or Asiana ploughed into a town or school killing people on the ground, the rules would be changed. The speed of the change would be directly connected to how many 'innocent' people died.

You as a pilot are not innocent and you are an evil money grabber who barely works and you all make +$250k a year. That unfortunately is public opinion. As long as the general public is not affected nothing will change.

Even the Chevy Volt review will be completed before cargo aircraft.

Look at the Buffalo crash, stalled for years because of big money. If it had been a large aircraft with 300 on board and crashed into a school or a church full of people the rest rules would have changed rapidly. They won't.

The laws are written in blood, the amount of blood and your blood does not count. My opinion is if it's not safe enough to go on a passenger plane it's not safe for cargo either. But no one cares about my opinion now do they?
