Just noticed this on the BBC website and instantly thought, I wonder if Cybertory (with his aviation disaster facination) has posted on CUK about this yet
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
No-one is suggesting abdication of responsibility, merely that standards of work in airports in some countries differ significantly from others.
No, you sir, are an imbecilic dolt.
It is the duty of any reputable airline to ensure that the level of maintenance is standardised wherever their planes land, as far as possible.
And in fact this is usually the case.
Your logic would suggest it is more dangerous to take off from certain places than from others. I am not aware of any data that shows this to be the case.
I blame the current educashun system for the lack of rigour in thinking in the yoof of today.

Snrrk snrrk, fnaar fnaar.
I agree with you in regards to the responsibility of the airline, but if you look at certain air crashes or incidents which have been as a consequence of the cock-up of non-airline organisations you'll note that the data is there.

Pitot tube accidentally sealed in South America a couple of decades ago is the only one that comes to mind. Every recent accident has been ascribed to mechanical failure/pilot error.
So you're talking out of your backside.
Fields medal my arse, you can barely do primary school logic.

IIRC there have been quite a few incidents where third party cleaners had taped over vital sensors on the outside of the aircraft but forgot to remove the tape before handing it back, they're supposed to use covers with big orange tags these days to make them more obvious should one be left in place.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
