I have just read on another forum a job ad for a Beaver Float Pilot. In the list of requirements it states: “......and accept the SMS system.” It would be interesting to know exactly what system the owner is expecting his new employee to accept.
As said previously, those ethical operators who are doing things the right way do not need SMS, while it gives the chancers free rein to manipulate it and impose even more abuse on staff while covering up safety issues. Never put the fox in charge of the hen house!
