The pilots should insist that a welder, mechanic, auto-electrician and panel-beater be present on every flight, in case some mid-air repairs become necessary to prevent another calamity from occurring whilst those doctors are on board.

After the doctors have returned to the US, those technicians can be paid off, and Dana Air can revert back to reliance on fasting, prayers and speaking in tongues, for spiritual protection of their rickety refurbished aircraft that were bought from the airplane junkyard located in the Arizona desert.

Baba Musiliu the Master Welder from Owode Onirin has bestowed his stamp of approval on ALL the emergency patching and welding that is used to hold those antique aircraft together whilst in flight.

There is one caveat, however, and that is that prior to each and every flight, a large male dog MUST be killed and sacrificed to Ogun, the God of Iron, who in turn will offer conditional protection to the aircraft, unless, of course the flight encounters severe turbulence, in which case, deliverance from disaster will be reposed in the ability of passengers to offer suitable emergency prayers to the various gods that they worship, as the disaster unfolds mid-air.
