Okay. I really didn't want to get into this debate, but since I've been asked the question, I will try to answer it as well as I can.
This is my personal opinion, sir. I feel that the SMS concept is a really good one. I think companies out there that demonstrate maturity and that can demonstrate that they have a system that is not only valid but effective, an SMS system, perhaps should be given some kind of let so that they wouldn't be “audited” as much or as often. I think for companies out there that cannot demonstrate that they have a valid and effective SMS, there has to be more regulatory action, more audits, more on-site inspections done.
What I'm saying is that perhaps SMS is being mandated. I probably would have made it voluntary, so that some kind of leeway on inspections or something, some kind of gold star would be given to those systems, those airlines, and those operators that would have taken the system and implemented it on their own and made it work and demonstrated that they had a valid system. There are ways of demonstrating validity. Also, they would have to show that it was effective, and there are certainly ways of doing that. You can do it by collecting data. It's a data-driven system, so you probably have to do it mostly statistically, so that you have data, and you're not using somebody's opinion. Then, at that point, you move on and you put your limited resources—and they are limited—into companies that we know need additional oversight. I think a combination of that kind of system would have been much more effective, but that's just my personal opinion.
I hope I've answered your question.
