No, himalaya, it doesn't.

However, the way in which you put the question rather inhibits answering. It sounds as if your question is rhetorical.

It could also mean that people have been victimised and don't want to talk about it.

I know of one case in which a company flight safety officer was considered by the higher-ups as being too "proactive" in his approach, and wanting changes made to the systems, to rostering, to SOPs. His proposals would, undoubtedly, have led to improved safety. However, the company decided to try to shut him up, and all of a sudden, it was decided that his performance on his last Base Check had not been good enough, and he was recommended for further training at short notice. This training, strangely enough, was scheduled for a time when the company was due to be OSAPped by the CAA, so there would be inspectors around the offices.

There are numerous other cases that I have heard of. How each individual handles it is up to him/her - after all, all individuals are different, they are dealing with different situations in different countries, in different regulatory climates. There is no single solution.
