Alpha Leader
This being the Professional Pilots Rumor Network I understand that not all of us are/were pilots. But we are professionals of this industry. You on the other hand seem to have a serious weed up your ass when it comes to skyguide or Swiss airspace. So let me give you a moment of pause that you may contemplate and ponder on the shortcomings of this organization.
One, if not the most important aspect of PPrune is to exchange information and knowledge gained from within and from the line in order to improve aviation safety. I'll be listing to your justified and well based comments which you can, of course back up with a wealth of evidence.
You have posted a link to a newspaper article by the NZZ. A paper which is renowned for reporting facts, well researched and current issues. I'll quote from the English translation:
Do passengers have to expect the increased likelihood of a crash over Switzerland?
No, says Erik Merckx, Head of Safety Enhancement Business at Eurocontrol in Brussels. "I'm reducing these numbers to the fact, that the reporting culture in Switzerland is exceptionally well developed."
This is being appreciated by Eurocontrol: "Authorities and those involved can learn from mistakes reported by pilots, ATC and airlines, and draw their conclusions." According to statistics from various countries, Merckx notices that since recently, more but less serious airproxes have been reported.
That these numbers at this stage are not in favour of Switzerland, is being accepted by the FOCA, says spokesperson Daniel Goering. "We as the regulatory authority support an active reporting culture. Skyguide, in case of doubt, reports one occurence too many rather than too little. This is positive, because one can learn also from situations which finally didn't lead to a near miss."
This goes in line with a statement I once heard while I was in Brussels on a aviation safety seminar: Just because a day goes by without a safety report doesn’t mean that safety was not compromised.
Let me close up, in English, Alpha leader you’re an idiot. And yes, also in English, the educational levels leave quite obviously much to be desired.
