Lunchbox Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 bad year for bending machines :down: Heard through the grapevine that it's been one of the worst years according to TSB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingshead Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Gee I wonder if it's got anything to do with the new SMS, so called"safety management system" that is slowly being brought into place. Sure seems to work well in the railway industry, CN has a derailment it seem every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heliben Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think we can all agree it has been a busy year for all operators. More hours flown = more bent metal. It sure isn't nice to hear though. Maybe a lack of experience plays a part. Hope we can work towards lower numbers next year. Fly safe all.

Banoy Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 TheKingsHead, how exactly does the introduction of SMS cause accidents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
