I think I was a little misunderstood with this post judging by the responses. Fear culture within Cathay Pacific leads to people keeping there mouths shut when they should be speaking out about safety concerns. People who do speak out are dismissed, so the majority have learned not to rock the boat for fear of being next. This cannot be good. The reasoning behind this culture is quite simple - money. Cut back on training, keep defects out of the log to keep the aircraft flying, threaten staff and make them feel they are lucky to have a job - just some of the tactics apparently used by CX. I do not see how fear of speaking out is good!!
