We are not cargo!

Apr 15, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have observed an article where Mr. Kit Nascimento mentioned that it was the Pilot of the aircraft who first observed the unlocked door on the plane. Mr. ‘Kit’ also mentioned that the plane’s door would not have flung open in midair. Whoever noticed that the door was not properly locked, first, second or last  does not negate the fact that something was wrong.
Does this mean that the passengers had no reason to be concerned for their safety? It may have been a good thing if the PR Consultant ‘par excellence’ had apologized for the slip-up and promised that more care will be taken in future – you know something of that sort.
It would also have been respectful if the Charterer/Operator of the particular Flight Service had not been so arrogant when approached about the incident.  After all, the passengers paid money. If they don’t buy tickets, the planes wouldn’t fly.
It is appalling for the PR Consultant to speak like an accent is all that is required to shut people up.  Their concerns about safety are real and quite rightly so. Too much is going wrong in the private aviation sector and we are not accustomed to this mediocrity when it comes to our very lives. We are not cargo!
