I neither fly for CX or KA, but I did escape from KA a few years ago... and very pleased that I did.
I see that Company intimidation has now reached an all time low and has spread over to the internet via PPrune. 'The Management' beggars belief... who the hell is he/she? If we are to believe that he/she is a true voice of CX management then it really is a very sad state of affairs, because to admit that they (CX) 'control' your regulatory authorities and, also says that CHIRP reports go no further than Corporate safety level is a real concern to public safety. I have to agree that the FTL document does stink, because it clearly states that the Company will have the final say in these matters (and their own interpretation of the rules)
. In all respects, you're on a hiding to nothing, but my sympathies certainly don't err on the management side of the fence. 'The Management' states that they will be absolved of all responsibility when it comes down to an aircraft incident/accident, because, just like a Commanders Discretion report, or a CC making his/her own decision, it has absolved them (CX) of the accountability of errors; therefore culminating in the Commander (or any other poor soul) taking the 'hit' for the error of judgement. Good CRM doesn't stop at the flight deck door; it's a team effort all the way to the top of the Corporate ladder.
If we are to believe that 'The Management' and his 'f
g' bonus are for real; start compiling his/her posts into a 'pending' file for presentation to the accident investigation team, because I'd like to see him/her in court to be held 'accountable' for being the AOC holder.
You call yourself a 'manager'? You're a danger to public safety! Get a grip of yourself.
