Actually I think he sums it up quite well.

This chap will have been fired either due to one extremly serious breach or a number of other violations. Even then his reaction to correction and any remedial training will have been key.

FLIDRAS is primarily a flight safety tool and easy use it for that purpose. As a company they have a responsibility to ensure their operation is as safe as it can be. If they become aware, through FLIDRAS, that they have a pilot in their midst who is not performing to the required standard then they have a duty to deal with that. After all someone can toe the line for recurrant sims and then gash around for another 6 months. Imagine the consequences if they ignored such data and there was a crash involving said pilot which was caused by the way he flew the aircraft.

Passengers want to arrive safely above all else and I daresay they will be quite pleased to learn that we are monitored on every flight and that the company takes transgressions seriously.
