A Continuing Conversation

How can aviation safety be viewed as a continuing conversation, and not just get media attention after a crash or near miss?

Challenges

Well Paul, a worthy initiative for sure. At least you got me curious, particularly about how we aregoing to get to a useful forecast. And also about how we will get investments in effort (andperhaps even money) going in anticipation of future threats. (This is a bit of an achilles-heel for initiatives such as FAST as well). This would seem to me to be some of the challenges here. And as challenges make life interesting, this is not a bad thing. Do you have some ideas already ?
