Saftey improvements don't yield an increase in revenues.

You can be certain that they'd be right on board with this if they had any kind of assureness of it helping their bottom line in the near-term.

You mean the fuel tank explosion vulnerability that happened from a flight leaving from New York to Great Britian? Where basically because of in-proper cabling can cause the fumes of jet fuel which is compressed and heated up to explode?

Yeah that vulnerability exists in almost all jets still flown today. Only difference now any new planes made will not have that vulnerability anymore.
