Not really a surprise. It always comes down to money. Right now the number of dead bodies due to planes falling out of the sky is small enough that it is cheaper to pay off those families instead of increase training/duty/rest rule requirements. Once enough dead bodies start falling from the skies and the payoff amount passes the new training/duty/rest cost ATA will come out with a new letter saying that new training/duty/rest rules must be established for "safety".
