There's been too much of that and more, for sure. Nevertheless,
negligence often causes the crashes of large airliners (which, BTW,
have no crew escape systems). Passengers and crew alike rely on heads-
up maintenance, take-off, and landing procedures. In short, management
with integrity makes the difference, whether it's in the government
sector or the commercial sector.
