So can we do more? Yeah. We can push a lot harder on the safety front. Does that mean I think we are entirely to blame for our problems, no. I dont even think we are significantly to blame. But we can do a lot better. The recent Coronavirus MOU proves we can get things done. Let's attack our safety faults.
Sure! It seems logical, even obvious, to think safety concerns might increase pressure on the company to get a deal done. Right. NOW.

Alas, just look at the facts for your answer.
