If you play back the tapes, you will never hear me saying it was never safe to fly. I'll repeat my answer again. The incidents weren't big enough to cause an incident in the middle of the sky. But they are symptomatic problems of a process that's failing. And you could have a situation--if you understand human factors--when one mistake is made and another person takes over the job and he makes another mistake. It carries on and on and on until a major incident happens. And it could be the failure of the unit being installed, or it could go, yes, as far as having something not work in the sky. If a generator fails in the sky, you have two or three others as a backup. Again, back to my premise, it's not enough to cause an incident in the sky, but it's rather a problem of the SMS process.
The regulations are still in place. SMS just makes sure that more responsibility is put on the company and more onus is on them to make it work themselves. Therein lies the inherent problem with SMS. I cannot trust airlines. because they are in a conflict of interest. Time and time again, the evidence has shown that they will take other matters before safety. Southwest Airlines has proved it, American Airlines has proved it, and so have Delta and Continental.
