Flight law and procedure is painstakingly written in blood, and the thorough analysis of every plane crash is why aviation is so incredibly safe, there is no possible way this would ever be allowed.

I highly recommend checking youtube for crash analysis videos and series btw, the incredible detail these investigations go into is eye opening, and really gave me an appreciation for the field.

Perhaps the CEOs (in constant pursuit of profits and bonuses) don't care so much about safety, and are trying to make a play to get society to accept a lower level of safety in air transport? We accept huge amounts of deaths from road transport, preventable illnesses, etc. Air transport is possibly the exception (that is getting in the way of profits)

If CEOs faced real consequences they would care.
