I was merely mentioning the “probationary period” some companies had in place and the ability of customers to ask for replacement of crews “without cause.” I have seen some customers abuse this by threatening crews who refused to fly in below limits wx or over max gross/mass for example.
Yes me too. Hopefully a historical anomaly that we have passed. Some of the worst abuse I’ve experienced came from a client that supposedly championed safety! But they were happy to let their jet fleet fly into a VFR airfield they owned, using a made up approach we as the aircraft operator had put in the FMS. Often landing in Cat 1 conditions. Then we as the resident rotary (of their owned aircraft) operation got slated for not flying in the same conditions. No guesses who..,,,
