It seems like health and safety issues rule just about everything in the business world.
Perhaps we should go back to the good old days where the safety of employee's didn't really matter. Who cares if a bunch of ignorant miners are lost in a mine collapse. Asbestos? never mind just breath slowly. One or two rampies get's fried because they have to work in a storm, just hire some more.
I agree with your comments,Cargoagent.I hope technology will find a way to get us off those planes earlier during a red alert.
I'm sure there are people working on it.
If it was the safety of the passengers on those acft that was being discussed, I'm sure many would be screaming from the hilltops that AC, the GTAA and the freaking gov't better damn well do something, but as it's just some rampies it who cares!
I've been at work and seen lightning strikes on airport property and am thankful there are enough people around that care about the employees.
