From the promised LAND
Danny thats a powerful argument that can be used in defense of chasing many different safety improvements. Unfortunately the system does not reward good intentions. It does however penalize me if I make a decision to modify equipment that results in someone either getting hurt or dying. Thats the sad fact of things.
tie, in many walks of life, there is a hard price to pay when always doing the right thing.
in my personal life, i can tell you dozens of times were a lie would have made the road easier, the punishment less severe. but a downward spiral in your moral code really does not happen all at once, it happens incrementally, just like the changes at ups. all it takes is going this far this time, the next time a bit further, and then after a while, you dont even know yourself anymore.
ups can do the right thing and protect itself from lawsuits if it chooses. or it can leave things as they are and hide behind federal minimums like they are now.
the ups i used to know would stand up and do the right thing.
