Nobody is saying regulate them to death. But maybe, just maybe, don't let the company themselves certify their own aircraft when it comes to matters of safety, required training, etc.
- aianus 7y ago> Regulations are worth the downsides when it's a matter of life and death. I am in disagreement specifically with this absolute quote. Regulations may or may not be worth the downsides, even when they save lives. The economic costs matter and should be calculated and a reasonable tradeoff should be made. You can't make a statement like that and then turn around and complain about my hypothetical 300% price increase for a 900% safety increase.
- eloff 7y agoI think we're in agreement then. I don't think in terms of absolutes, there's always a trade-off to be made and one must be rational and measured.
