There's ways to get ahead in aviation but do you have to starve yourself?

The article about the Q400 is still not conclusive.
There is no final report out yet on any of the accidents. Although there is a faulty filter in the hydraulic system of the Q400, it did not trigger the third accident!
A small elastic piece used to seal gaskets, migrated in the hydraulic system & blocked an orifice? Faulty filter that didn't do its job or not, we still need to know how it got there!
The first two accidents was caused by corroded bolts! Why is SAS the only Q400 operator to have found corrosion in their landing gears?
This clearly shows that SAS tech is doing something, that no other airline is doing!

EASA, Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) and the three Scandinavian Authorities of Denmark, Sweden and Norway met yesterday in Cologne to discuss the situation in Scandinavia of the DHC-8-400 airplane after the three accidents related to the Main Landing Gear of this aircraft in September and October 2007.
The exchange of views was cooperative, useful and productive. It was agreed that good communication lines between all authorities involved have to be considered as being essential for dealing with safety matters. Existing systems for reporting of service difficulties and the exchange of available safety data between competent Authorities in Canada and in Europe will be jointly reviewed aiming to confirm its effectiveness.
EASA and TCCA confirmed the airworthiness of the DHC-8-400 airplane.
Asking a pilot about what he thinks of Transport Canada, is like asking a fire hydrant what does he think about dogs.
