Virgin, I think you're being unduly harsh. The identity of the airline was relevant information if fmc was to find out how prevalent the problem was in the industry. I'm only SLF, but have experience of HR issues and while it's important for junior staff to have confidential reporting lines for whistle-blowing, the fact is few really exist. There are also sadly few managers in ANY industry who can hand-on-heart say that they are not subsequently prejudiced against a junior who criticises them openly. Maybe, on occasion, the junior has tact and diplomacy beyond what would be expected at his stage in his career, and maybe, on occasion, the manager is able to take a criticism as a professional not a personal issue, and maybe, on occasion, the two have a sufficiently strong rapport for the issue to be cleared up between the two of them. For the rest of the time, it's up to the company to provide the means for the complaint to be made.
