Since when did the COS mean anything?
Past experience shows CX mgt seemingly dismiss the COS whenever they feel like it. It is true that there are set disciplinary procedures in place but many of us can probably think of cases where the poor unfortunates have been denied them - confident the AOA's lack of resources and the co's rep of destroying anyone who dares ask for their rights to be recognised will squash any resistance. Rule by fear................
And they wonder why their crews are unhappy and no longer trust them? Reap what you sow.....................
My thoughts are with the Skip concerned and also the F/O.
