AEI says "Pilots Not Reporting Aircraft Defects ...

...but When it is Convenient"

Hello all.

This (provocative) title comes from AEIs report from PRNewswire site. Here is the original statement.

This may (just may) start a heated debate but IMHO it deserves your thoughts. AEI is claiming what they claim.

Reporting the incidents when they occur or iimediately after (I mean when you land) should be a normal course of action not only by common sense but also by rules and regulations. Waiting for that last leg can cause more pain in the end, I think we all know that.

I can assure you that, from the OEM side, very often we see things that should have been resolved right away if properly reported.CHIRP or whatever other anonymous way of reporting exists where most of us work, right?

Of course, this is just one side of the story and it would be nice to hear what IFALPA (or others) and the regulators have to say about this. AEI's claim is challenging and needs an answer.
Cheers
