The comments support that "safety culture" is just a couple of words that read well on manuals, statements and reports. It doesn't exist in the real word. With respect to investigations, does use of the term "safety culture" provide a blanket cover for the true perpetrators to remain invisible? I guess it is a bit like workplace anti-bullying legislation, initially you think it is there to protect the workers however, once you become a victim of bullying and victimisation you realise it is there to protect the offenders. The only people you ever see involved in cases of bullying are politicians and high profile public officers. I have witnessed much more intimidation and victimisation (mainly at pilots ) in this industry than any other, so how does this supposed "safety culture" exist in an environment like that? How can the regulator not be aware of these practices? Don't many pilots join regulatory organisations to take refuge from that abuse?
