all we ask for is understanding from our Bosses and a fair hearing. From our flying peers we expect understanding and a little loyalty.
Last time I checked, were at the top of our profession and still making good money. We are paid to be professional and to make sound experienced judgments. This is not your first or second flying job...if it was...the pay would reflect so. We may make mistakes but gross errors in judgment can and should have a high price.
Loyalty and understanding is for a crew making a mistake due to fatigue or a lack of focus and having to go-around. It is not for a stall or other gross departures from normal flight. These gross errors need large reactions from the company to the individuals involved. Reductions in rank, re-training or termination can only be determined by a full review or hearing of the incident and the crews’ actions before, during and after the flight.
