Who is too say after the fact? It is just all speculation.

That's right and it is why we need boundaries. I think of as an ILS going full scale- when it gets too close to the edge someone needs to intervene or call missed, because the PF is not getting the job done. This would be role of regulation according to this analogy.
They have those regulations and they are often either abused or ignored - sometimes by the motivation for money! It seems to all tie in doesn't it? The laws right now set out standards for the rest, fitness, fatigue, duty times, etc.... They have been known to be inadequate for some time and it obviously takes a LONG time to turn that ship heading right for the breakwaters! But that is where the change are needed so that the corporates aren't able to abuse the systems in place in the race for money! It is like a lot of other things dealing with gov't - - - if you don't like what is happening, get rid of the ones standing in the way and let someone else have a shot at getting it right.
