at the end of the day, its Kembles call and if having done a risk assessment they feel its necessary then thats the way it is. everyone can have their own view but as the operator their view counts. If you dont like it go somewhere else.
Personally these tirades about the use of Hi Viz jackets by pilots is pathetic and demonstartes that such pilots have a two faced attitude to safety or perhaps even worse dont have a clue about safety after all.
Not surprising then that some in authority think GA is too much trouble than its worth.
Personally, my view is that if more can be done then it should be done an wearing a hi viz jacket is not unreasonable.
As to the person who suggested that Kemble be held responsible if he sustained injuries whilst inside the aircraft through wearing a hi viz jacket well he should not be flying if he is that stupid.
I suppose aviation will attract its own set of idiots and self professed experts like any other activty who prefer to shoot off their mouths before engaging brain.
