Simple: I'm a god because I work for the ONLY safe, professional company in the Universe. Also, I have a ginormous 'joystick' and a shiny hat... or is it the other way around?
I would love to see the accident/incident statistics based on Cycles rather than hours. It would be interesting to see if the companies that subcontract the bulk of their short hops fair better or worse than those who do all of their flying.
The truly sad thing about attacking the pilots is NOTHING is learned. But if one thinks of the incident with the mindset that the crew was
trying to perform as
perfectly as each of us
think we perform, then we can come up with 'what ifs' and discuss them. Those 'what ifs' may have zilch to do with the incident, but they are good thought experiments.
