I am so sick and tired of everyone always pointing a finger in this industry. Really Ibhayi - pilots are big boys too and they are forever telling everyone one that - they know the difference between right and wrong and ultimately its their choice whether they fly or not (or report a fault or not). To say that the operater
MADE them do it, is completely ridiculous - no one can make anyone do something - pilots
always have a choice. Granted, it may not be a choice that they like, but they still have a choice. What they choose to do depends on their own morals, principles and ethics.
I do not know
VB and being relatively new to the industry, I obviously just hear the stories, however what I do know is that to run any aircraft company takes balls, sweat, guts and major stress - and yes, they do it by choice, but thank heavens they do, otherwise the rest of us would all be out of a job. I however have no ambition to be an operator - I'll stick to flying thanks.
