Well if it helps to put some fuel into this:
I did research that point already back in 2000 and due to the usual Swiss media self imposed censorship the story was never published. Former Swissair did everything to avoid this question to be discussed during court proceedings with one of their former captains, who got fired.
The real delicate point is that it has been common practize within their (SR's) training academy to cheat on these tests.
And is this the same Cpt Manfred Brennwald who once took off out from KMIA when the cabin was not secure and was never challengend for this despite several reports?
Nevertheless it is important that someone, if it ends up to be the more respected media, so let it be, bring such things to light.
Swiss FOCA has dreamed its beautysleep for more than a decade and by simply shifting all responsibility to the Swiss carriers without any level of control things have gone down the drain in Heidiland. First wake up call for FOCA was SR 111 and subsequently other mishaps followed. Unfortunately the Swiss mentalty can not handle critism pretty well (maybe because of that a major operator asked a few years back upon first implemantation of new JAR-Ops to be released from providing required CRM training for its crews?!!) and as the country is so small, things tend to get resolved internally, without any big publicity. A good example is the firing of a high FOCA representative, who publicly declared he felt "pressured" by Swissair to acknowledge the certification and installation of their later becoming infamous IFEN (Inflight Entertainment System) back in 1998.
Switzerland has become a very strange country, when it comes to aviation. It is to my knowledge the only country were people who already have been found responsible for causing serious and fatal accidents may continue to run THE major airline with the help of govenment support and (tax-payers) money - . Because on the other hand these individuals have proven to be unable to amicably resolve problems within their "merged" pilot community, such "dirty laundry" will continue to surface, and unfortunately there is even more...
