MP that is a truly appaling ordeal and my sympathies go out to you and your family. All the best for a long and happy retirement following your distinguished career.. .. .Having some insight into your managements culture it doesn't surprise me. These people have never seen daylight except between each others ears.. .. .Gurnzee's experience is a common one too.. .. .I think it works like this. The 'Old Man' gets annoyed by a delay which incurs a cost. He then tells the Ops Director to 'have the pilot in for a word'. This low level bullying is delegated to the Fleet Manager who picks his moment. A suggestion is made that their are better ways of handling operational situations that will avoid further interviews . . .. .. .It goes on all the time but rarely gets talked about for obvious reasons.. .. .Bad cultures start at the top in any organisation. The issue here is that trying to interfere with resposibilities of the ATPL is one of safety.. .. .You are best off out of it basically.
