It's aviation risk management 101:  pressure to fly in marginal weather for profit multiplied by new-to-Alaska and low-hour pilots equals higher probability of human error.

If the "Circle of Safety" is, "everyone's responsibility", then why do I get bad looks when I ask the air carrier about the weather?  Why is it not required to do CG calculations at every stop when things change in the freight or passenger amounts?

Lastly, the aggregates for liability insurance are a joke.  Up the required limits from $300K a seat to $1M a seat for ALL air carriers.  At last then there's some good cash to pay grieving spouses or worker' compensation death benefits.
