Due process.

Granted, but the sentences seem strange. The sentence for murder was pretty
light, and so were the punishments for the other parties.

I agree.

And it seems that Skyguide management, which was ultimately responsible for
the situation, didn't receive any penalties at all.

So justice wasn't done very well. That's not so unusual; OJ, Blake,
Lay, de Lay, Rove, Bush, Gonzales, ... come to mind.

This is the danger in hiring private companies to handle activities that are
naturally monopolies. Quality _always_ declines.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

Take the USAF verbal reprimand of the F-16 flight leader, Parker, who
lead his flight through congested Class B & C terminal airspace (which
he failed to brief as required by regulations) without benefit of the
required ATC clearance, resulting in the MAC with an ATP rated flight
instructor in a Cessna 172. The USAF handed down a verbal reprimand
for manslaughter.
