Saftey is like wearing a bullseye on your crest. In my 15 years of experience in aviation safety, you aren't really liked but when it hits the fan you are expected to provide answers. Then you have folks who just bash the crap out of safety's intent and call it stupid or don't you have something better to do? My answer has been yes I always have better things to do instead of providing a safer environment for the end user.
Oh no it's you or me. I worked on new product aircraft for the Navy. MH-60, KC-130J So I am talking about that new plane smell new. And I was also doing sustainment on legacy aircraft.
I've always wanted to follow the trucking industry but I had a lapse of about twenty years after I drove OTR for the Navy. I went to sea and just got caught up in other stuff and when I went to college I was able to do a few term papers on the industy and I have a lot of friends I grew up with that are OTR. Funny thing I was supposed to be the professional driver..... You drivers keep our country going and it is like you all are invisible to the rest of the country. I mean really folks are that clueless.
