Blacksheep - smacks of what we communicated about recently. This commercial pressure is omnipresent (the A & C amongst you may want to look that up!) and pervades every facet of the job. I hate to re-iterate this but a big accident may not be far away.
Take for example maintenance (or flight ops) - most are in business to make money. No problem with that. However, in undertaking maintenance to make money, certain commercial considerations must, at least morally, take a back seat to the regulatory requirements. An organisation assumes responsibilities that cannot, or must, not be abrogated. Too many are subsumed with the notion that costs must be pared. In so doing, safety may be compromised. Short term savings may be made but in the long term...? Every certifying engineer should remember - his certifications last for the life of the aircraft + 2. Every maintenance organisation should consider what they ask their staff to do and with what resources.
