I can't disagree with most of what you say in that first paragragh.
I too, like many here, find the lack of transparency in this Company disappointing at times. Non existent official feedback from in house incidents only contributes to most Pilots distrust of how valid safety issues and concerns are dealt with. The latest example being our 'non compliance' of logging stick time. How we can be non compliant when we employ a more restrictive rule is beyond me. The GCAA's interpretation is different to the UK's CAA ( who made the rules) and Emirates is happy to go along with it. Rather strange then that Companies like British Airways have for many years employed their own more restrictive scheme without falling foul of the Authority. It's complete Bull***t and we all know it is.
My only gripe against those that are so negative against LOSA is that we have little to lose by embracing it. My personal view is that by refusing the observers and making it fail is not the way forward.
