Dear Neil,

Now that the discussion has died down a bit, I'd like to add some
observations of my own. I think that there were good points raised
on all sides of the issue. From the volume of responses, it seems that
there is a good deal of interest in the subject.
The questions that I'd like to pose to the group are these:
What can be done from the standpoint of CRM to address the problem?
Is there enought motivation to do the research required to find answers?
If some solutions do come from research, how would they be applied
effectively?
I have been beating the political and judicial drums in order to stir
up awareness, with some success. I fear that without some input from the
professional aviation community, those gyrations will soon fade from the
short attention span of politicians and the flying public as well.
I'd like to know exactly what ya'll think would work. Maybe together
we can come up with a set of workable solutions that everyone can live
with.
I'll go back to the sidelines now, and get out of your way. Thanks!
Mike
