A tragedy

Having been in aviation for 30 years I am still devastated when there is a crash .And now there is one in Brazil.I have flown more than the average business person and still feel comfortable to fly.I just dislike that lose of lives and the finger pointing that follows.It seems the majority of accident are blamed on the pilots but then they are dead so that's easy.There are more areas to observe though.I have seen and complained of deferred items.Those items that can be non functional for a certain time frame.Why? Money .Revenue.Greed .Call it what you will but that is the bulk.I have seen managers call on pilots from their homes or dinner parties and demand the pilot take a flight after said pilot turn downed for weather.And many don't stand up to them because their job is on the line now.They may make it to were they need to go but get stuck there or diverted .And if that happens then they need to fill out paperwork on why they accepted said flight.
The flight that crashed in SAO PAOLO seems to have had a reverse thruster inoperable.Why ?Who knows but he took the flight to a known airfields with a short runway.So when he had to stop he basically only had 1 brake sand on water.Who s fault? the mechanic who deferred,the manager that demanded the manufacturer for allowing deferrals the government for allow runway to stay open?Who gains from these tragedies?No one.Who stands to lose when a foreseeable item lurks?Everyone and then some innocent bystanders.
In my opinion the pilot should have grounded the aircraft due to weather and the air traffic controllers should have diverted air craft to another location.Plus in this case the city should expand the airport by imminent domain.Now after there is this tragedy do the money holder say they will make further repair.A famous saying with people I worked with was:you can pay now or pay later: the latter is always greater by 10
