I think what he is trying to say is that their is a tendency to lead by fear and intimidation as opposed to leading by example. The idea of having spot checks is ridiculous and will lead to a culture of fear which does nothing to improve the airline other than creating automatons who blindly follow policy even when it isn't prudent. They'll end up with a bunch of brown nosing snitches and others who are too afraid to do the right thing. It isn't the kind of environment that I would want to work in.
OK, so how is having spot checks "ridiculous"?
Is it not better for the personnel named, to conduct the checks themselves and observe first hand what is happening, instead of relying on "a bunch of brown nosing snitches", as you have put it?
When are checks most effective? When they are planned and therefore expected? Or when they are unexpected?
How does this "lead to a culture of fear"? Are you not a conscientious pilot who conducts himself more or less the same way whether or not he is doing a base check or a line check?
Or do you produce work that is in conformance with policy, SOP and performance standards only on those special days but otherwise come to work drunk, drugged or with a bad attitude?
If you have a problem with crew who "blindly follow policy even when it isn't prudent", then is it not also your job as a conscientious crewman to raise these issues and get the wrong policies corrected the proper way, instead of doing as you please?
