I do have an idea. It's been replicated in every aviation safety program I've seen. Not difficult nor expensive, but I honestly think many are concerned that it would show the "record" is not nearly so good as they've led themselves to believe. That's ok. With increasing attention from FAA, legislators, and media, I'm confident that it's not if there's a significant incident, it's when.
After all, the White Star line also had a good safety record --- right up until that little incident on April 15th 1912.
