The Future of Flight Safety Publications
I am a pilot manager of a large airline. I have contributed here many times but I am posting this thread under a new username to ensure the anonymity of me and my airline.
I recently spent a great deal of time putting together an in-house, pilot orientated, flight safety magazine containing the usual collection of stats, featured incidents and advice. The top brass have vetoed publication of the magazine because of concerns about its contents getting into the public domain and any possible adverse publicity.
Whilst being disappointed, I have to admit that in this day & age they are probably right that its contents could end up in the press with all the associated problems that would bring. My question is where do we go from here? And is the Flight Safety Publication dead?
The sad thing is that I know many pilots would have found its contents useful & interesting. It is also possible that it could have helped prevent an incident that would bring us far worse publicity than the magazine ever would.
