but the fact of the matter is the FOQA reports/trigger points have a direct effect on how crews fly the aeroplane
(a) although an expected human trait, it is an indictment of the operator's approach to the subject ?
(b) in the same vein as flying a check flight like one flies the line, and vice versa, some of the FOQA value is lost if it ceases to be a transparent looksee facility
(c) much depends on mutual trust between operator and crew. Surely the principal aim is to effect incremental improvements in SOP ?
(d) procedural handling of cowboy pilot actions detected by FOQA needs to be done in a manner which doesn't destroy the underlying relationship between the operator and the more disciplined crews who represent the very great majority.
