Hi Extralegroom,
Thanks for your post. Very helpful indeed... Personally I like the idea of discussion, but some don't. As I mentioned before some of the team leaders are very talented in their ability to connect with everyone. One such person suggested to management that the juniors should be the ones asking the questions. That person made some very valid points on the matter, but his suggestion didn't go down well. I suppose culture plays a big part in attitude. Unfortunately our cultural norms (respect & don't question your elders) contradict aviation safety requirements. As I am sure you will appreciate, the attitudes will not change overnight, but we shall try to make our airline a safe and a fun place to work.
Renaissance..
