As an actual employee of TAP, flying more than 22 years with a company that always gave me, as a Captain, the "last word" on GO/NO GO decisions, without the slightest sign of persecution or pressure. A company that always did teach me the rules of "safety first", one of the first ever to install EFDARS and other flight safety follow up instruments, CRM, LOSA, Quality Audits, etc. The culture of flight safety inside TAP is as strong as its image among our people and one of the reasons we still want to keep it as our Flag Carrier. I can only understand this anonymous quote of a pretence breach of safety by someone that is misinformed and with premeditated harmful intentions, and that is a case for Justice and Courts. My personal experience with TAP compels me to consider those declarations as an absolute non-sense. One thing I know: We may well be not one of the most productive airlines, but one thing that we are all proud of is, Safety!
