for thirty years this country's had the best aviation safety record in the world. But the thing is, we paid for it. We paid to have new, safe planes and we paid for the oversight to make sure they were well maintained. But those days are over. Now, everybody believes in something for nothing.
In the book "Airframe" by Michael Crichton, the author reflects on the aviation industry's impressive safety record over the past thirty years. This achievement was not by chance; it was the result of significant investments in new aircraft and thorough maintenance oversight. The commitment to safety required funding and resources to ensure the highest standards in aviation.
However, according to Crichton, the prevailing attitude has changed. There is now a widespread expectation for safety and quality without the necessary financial contributions to support them. This shift in mindset threatens the diligent efforts that have maintained such a strong safety record in aviation.
