Ever heard of Ocean Air they have ASR's. If you submit one to their safety department they will ponder it then call you in for a chat to get all the facts. They then send a summary to their operations management who decide if more needs to be done. If so they may call you in for another chat, if you have been negligent, delibrately careless or just plain incompetent you will face discipline or even the sack. But...if its one of those switch pigs that gets every one from time to time they will ask the question how can we stop our boys from doing this again? They look at training, SOPs and ask the offender to write about it in their Safety mag and they send the mag to all the other major airlines so their guys can learn as well.
There's another airline, Desert Air similar to Ocean Air in a lot of ways, their Safety Dept works pretty much the same, it is staffed by dedicated guys who believe in what they are doing. They too will send an ASR summary to their operations management, who may call you in for a chat. "I see you got caught by that old switch pig son" "Pressure from above, you know the deal, so I am going to have to punish you" So the offender loses some pay/leave and wonders why he didn't know about the switch pig if it has happened before. Desert Air don't print it in their safety mag because they don't have one, but they tell their guys that last month we only had 4 switch pigs. They don't tell other airlines as that would look bad.
Both airlines have very good safety departments, but which one has the safety culture?
(This post is entirely fiction, any resemblance to an airline either currently operating or previously so, is pure coincidence)
