From my view, that is not what he is trying to say. Aviation is never black or white. There is a lot of grey when it comes to the day to day operation. But where EK falls down, not just operationally, but in the training is that it appears that one should see everything as black and white.
And regard to SOPs. No one should disregard SOPs, but since there is so much "tribal knowledge" and as I said before about the lack of "published" SOPs, that is where the trainers have a real challenge. They do the job given them. All of the TRIs were dedicated and professional that I dealt with. However, some see only black and white and others understand the grey.
