Be careful with that sort of phrase. You are critcising one of the pprune boys club and therefore will get villified, threatened with legal action and have your whole career called into question. That's if your post isn't edited by the mods as this one was.

Is it not true that certain low cost carriers do anything to save a few quid, and that comes in all forms of savings including technical issues, MEL interpretation etc.

I'm told personally and on here some LoCo pilots are under enormous commercial pressure to cut corners.

I think the fact they don't have more accidents is more fortune than anything else.

But of course what do I know.

I'm only a professional pilot, not a journalist.
