How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

The AAIB statement correctly prioritizes systemic safety lessons over individual fault, directing attention to maintenance regimes, operational pressures, and Boeing oversight issues.

“Structural factors and regulatory capture rather than pilot or ground crew error”

Conservative

The emphasis on safety lessons risks shielding state-linked Air India, regulators, and manufacturers from accountability; swift identification of specific lapses is needed.

“Concrete failures in oversight, training, or maintenance standards over abstract systemic explanations”

Libertarian

The investigation's disclaimer of blame or liability risks shielding government-linked entities and limits victims' rights to pursue civil remedies and tort claims.

“Individual rights to redress versus state agency control of the narrative and data”

Devil's Advocate

All three perspectives accept the AAIB's self-description without examining whether the one-year interim silence functions as de facto liability protection or noting the agency's reporting structure.

“Official statements as political documents rather than neutral technical updates”
