Unions oppose FDM
Flight International reports that the unions oppose the introduction of Flight Data Monitoring (accident report recommendation). Why does the union, the flight crews themselves, have objections to the use of a modern safety aid? Don’t they realize that it is their own interest – improved safety?
If they don’t like FDM, then use LOSA; the crews could run that system themselves in a modified form. Use of LOSA could have identified some of the errors in the F50 accident in time to have prevented it.
