As Charlie Munger states "Show me the incentive, I show you the outcome"
Your point is well made.
The pilots need realise that loss of financial 'incentive' does not in the event of an accident,provide a lawful defence.
Unfortunately, pilots play their part too well. The airline management know it and the regulators turn a blind eye.
With Mr Hood comfortably upgraded, and the heads of CASA given similar treatment, the company can window dress and present any 'study' they choose.
Unless the labour representative association realise that the
study is inherently flawed and any outcomes serve the commercial interest of the company, then the fail in their duty to protect the interest of member pilots, which includes protecting their health.
