Well, actually American policies are decided by my elected representatives who I communicate with on a regular basis. And they do respond because every 2 years I get the opportunity to send him home.Originally posted by <slacker>:

I just noticed this and I simply had to respond. If the airlines were truly concerned about safety they would have pulled the 747 off the market after the flight 800 crash. The recent crash of the Chinese 747 was probably caused by the exact same thing. The airline industry's concern about quality is directly tied to the cost of potential lawsuits. If the cost of a change to aircraft design is more than they would likely pay in litigation then they simply let people die.Originally posted by Mark Herschberg:
I disagree with the first statement, and very much agree with the latter. There was a well received book, "Quality is Free" published in the 80's about how higher quality reduces costs. Certainly the airlines learned this long ago--while safty costs may more then double the cost of producing aircraft, the value of safe travel more then pays for itself.
