Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
Was just having a browse thru another thread, and started reflecting on some stories that I have been told which got me wondering .
If a pilot is working for a "dodgy" company, and speaks out to the boss about safety issues, then gets sacked... what is the difference between speaking to CASA about this, and having the company closed down ? ..... whichever way you do it, you are out of a job!
Is there too much pressure on pilots to speak out ?
What about some of the dodgy a/c flying in GA that probably shouldn't be ?
It's all very well for those of you in airlines to say " Ground it!" ... but the reality is that if you DO ground it, then there is no pay for you ... and if you DO go around grounding a/c, then you get a reputation that follows you everywhere and you will never be employed again!
Now I know that you are going to come back and say ' duty of care' , 'not much good being paid if you are dead' etc etc ... but could we have some REAL solutions please ?
