I am not talking about the legality but about the ethics. Ethics are the same everywhere the legality and bureaucracy differs.
Maybe in the above case there is some legal issues since is a state company and receives tax money. Citizens pay for the brand new A220 and every second month or so they have a broken one due to pilot mistakes. If pilot selection is not in accordance with written regulations then it is a public employee misconduct which can have legal consequences. Said before that what I know for this company comes from a his forum, can’t be sure. It’s a forum not a court room
