Delta Airlines Safe to Fly ?
Here in rec.travel.air, Mxsmanic spake unto us, saying:
These days, you never know, however. If there weren't any government regulations forcing airlines to do maintenance and observe safety issues, aircraft would be raining out of the sky. Strangely enough, some of the labor unions actually help to enforce safety on aircraft as well. Most flight crews aren't going to be willing to fly on something which is unsafe, for example, since their butt is on the line, and a pilot's union gives them the power to say "I won't fly unless this is fixed" as a group even if management wants them to cut corners. I was never in a union when I worked for the airlines (programmers are not unionized -- if they were, I'd still be there), but I know enough people who were and who took their jobs seriously to believe that the major airlines would be relatively safe even without the morass of federal regs they have to comply with. -- -Rich Steiner --- http://www.visi.com/~rsteiner --- Mableton, GA USA Mainframe/Unix bit twiddler by day, OS/2+Linux+DOS hobbyist by night.

Strangely enough, some of the labor unions actually help to enforce safety on aircraft as well. What Co wants to see a major accident..? It would be suicide from a business point of view. Ryanair pilots were apparently recently in trouble with management, apparently they were in too much of a hurry to land he damn things and meet deadlines. Not that I would be complacent, in any organisation it is still possible for management to pass the buck, giving the appearance of enforcing standards is not always the same as actually doing it.

Yes, but we will always need some oversight.. -Rich Steiner ---http://www.visi.com/~rsteiner--- Mableton, GA USA Mainframe/Unix bit twiddler by day, OS/2+Linux+DOS hobbyist by night.
