Dani, I believe Woody was referring to an Asian carrier in north east Asia where until recently, despite company management's denials, QAR and AIMS data was available to chief pilots, safety depts, maintenance people and even ordinary national pilots who attended their so called " safety meetings ". When I was there my national copilots used to tell me in great details about reports of deviations from normal flights, data of which were obtained from the FOQA dept AIMS / QAR extracts. I was flabbergasted and I noted my misgivings to the VPs and managing VPs ( even expats ). I was treated like a nosy, noisy fool by both national and expat management goons who were only too happy to use such data to lambast line pilots' deviations which prove that they themselves ( management pilots ) were superior as they fly only to SOPs perfectly.
It's only recently that I heard that they established the necessary protocols w.r.t. to FOQA/AIMS/QAR data to prevent wanton disemmination of such information to all and sundry. I certainly hope they are really serious and stick strictly to the established protocols so that the whole FOQA programme is held to a high standard reflecting the spirit in which it is based on.
