Unless they didn't plan at all (an answer I would not accept, or would advocate for prison terms if true), then they absolutely did plan for this outcome. Putting safety importance somewhere except the most important factor in manufacturing commercial passenger planes puts this exact outcome in the "planned" category.
- fwip 3y agoWell, no, that's clearly not the case. It's always possible to improve the safety of a plane by spending more money. Airlines could do a 72-hour safety review of every plane after every flight. Planes could have 7 copies of every system/sensor instead of 3. We could stick 6 pilots up in the cockpit in case the first 5 have simultaneous mid-air heart attacks. Deciding to shift the needle from "safety" toward "economic feasibility" is very often the correct thing to do, and vice versa.
