Southern Europe operators
Hi all , that is disgraceful to hear about crews being fired over what is in fact a safety issue . I have contracted for a number of years now and I have to say that I found operators in the southern part of Europe shameless . Iam now working for a well established UK operator , and it really is a breath of fresh air .
It looks like the french are going to go ahead with publishing a list of 'rogue carriers' , this will hopefully put manners on some of these little hitlers who continue to bully crews in taking aircraft which contradict the MEL/CDL . I have had no axe to grind , however , when I hear about this sort of thing , it makes me wonder , what is the real threat against security and safety--terrorism or individuals like this .
Any of these serious breaches against the safety of a public transport aircraft should be reported to the JAA in the Netherlands
and not the local authority , where there are widespread levels of nepitism .
Perhaps I am being a little unfair , the national carriers appeared to have been normal operators in southern Europe .
Furthermore , this is not a 'race gripe' , it is simply various governments selectively ignoring the regulations .
