It's important we start a discussion now to head-off any kind of notion that this is about failures in FAA pilot records regulations rather than a failure of our general management and training culture. Until we acknowledge our failures, something we still haven't done to this day, we cannot improve. Reality can't be avoided indefinitely. The longer we, as a company, avoid facing the facts, the more painful our return to reality will be.
It'll be interesting to see how it's handled next time. Nothing's changed so the next one is just a matter of time. Unfortunately...
