Transport Secretary Sean Duffy Sem repeats past mistakes. While responding to an interview with NBC Nightline, the secretary said Duffy should rosake the false license (and more recently, interviews, avoiding a private jet entering an active runway at Chicago’s Midway Airport to enter the active runway to the southwest flight to Exsy to avoid a collision).
Come on, I’ll get it. The new administration was barely swearing, and in nearly 20 years the WARSST aviation accident occurred when Washington state helicopters attacked a regional jet with an approach to Washington National Airport, claiming 67 lives. In the shorts, a small Pennsylvania jet crash landed in Toronto, causing the jet to fall, causing a Chicago Midway rated near miss. Secretary Duffy had to appeal to the fighter public that he was of making the sky safer. The problem is that he didn’t want to find a cause. Only scapegoats.
Aviation has an incredibly safe way to travel with scholarships, and the gold standard is gaining attention for safety. According to the FAA, commercial aviation deaths have fallen by more than 95% since 1998, as measured by deaths per 100 million passengers. Additionally, fatal risk (percentage of accidents or losses leading to death) is reduced by 83% over the same time frame. The International Air Transport Association, a representative and advocate for airlines around the world, recently published a 2024 Safety Report which found that all tuition fees had improved worldwide over the period 2020-208 (2020-2024: 810,000 flights per 810,000 flights, 1 accident per 456,000 flights). These safety improvements coincides with the Varyus FAA and the global safety efforts and the transition from condemnational action to information sharing. In a previous blog post, I will explain the initiative in a more complete way.
Now, Mr. DeMille, secretary Duff, is ready for his close-up. What you see on camera is all part of a political game. But it lurks behind all the intentional comments and policies. All humans make mistakes. Aside from overt obscure interference and negligence, we are surprisingly going to do the wrong thing from time to time. Secretary Duffy’s intention is for people to explain their (in) behavior and reduce the amount of overpowerment. However, mistakes (which can be corrected by individual retraining or systematic changes) and gross negligence, criminal conduct, or blatant disregard for safety are by not taking action that is different from being mistaken to encourage people to hide their mistakes, as they become aware of safety concerns from fear of retaliation. This leads to higher accidents so that no quarter is made to read and learn from the current root cause of the accident. Under a punitive model, there is no incentive to be honest. Acerway, your liveliofo is at risk. It may take a ya’s time to regain your degree. So, honestly, you put your career at risk. If you can hide the mastake, at least you have the opportunity to make it unharmed. The net cost of fraud is judged to be lower than the net cost of integrity.
After the Chernobyl disaster, Deputy Chief Engineer Grigory Medvedev described the “silent conspiracy” culture that Moscow discovered to build public nuclear incidents. No safety concerns were reported and it was not charged. After all, unreported incidents cannot attract the public’s attention. In short, Atant was to show the public the face of the ultra-safe nuclear program. In reality, deviations from standards and safety protocols were becoming new normal, unless they were locked out of the public eye. After this disaster, the concept of “safety culture” began to emerge, and by the early 2000s, a downward trend in aviation accidents began to appear. Such incentives had to be changed to safety reporting and prevention favors, such as James’ reasons (see Human Error, 1991) and Atul Gawande (see The Checklist Manifesto, 2009). This is called a “safe culture.” A fair and transparent approach in which individuals are not blamed for misunderstandings or errors, but are responsible for recklessness or denials. Our goal of a fair safety culture is to encourage an open and honest flow of safety-related information and enable continuous improvement of the system. We are working to move away from policies supported solely by safety cultures supported by decades of empirical data, for an attractive return to remote cultures and silence plots.
