Hi David (Daily Telegraph):
just be carefull with the emails you receive, most of the posts here which are against any existance of "pressure" within the LoCo operations probably come from Managers or Pilots (in managerial positions) and obviously they get highly paid to make sure that it is all under control and nobody breaks the silence.
We do not know if they are real engineers or pilots as they sometimes state.
This "safety-pressure" issue is also cleverly organised in such a way that the direct pressure is nearly absent, most of the time is a subtle elusive indirect pressure, which is the most dangerous!
Let's hope we can make these flights safer and get rid of some bad policies.
Do not forget:
subtle elusive indirect pressure, which is the most dangerous! ...
I know for sure that the Cabin Crew for LoCo are under a lot more pressure than their equivalents working for BA for example, and we all know how essential is to have an alerted and healthy Cabin Crew in case of a serious incident (see recent AF in YYZ).
