GF , you are correct. As I said policy hear fails to see the safety ramefications. So fatigued and sick they go to work , all links in the chain.
Safety is talk alone in this outfit .
I personally will not fly if ill. I will absouloutely go to the American hospital at 4 am , and charge EK the bill from now on. No self medicating until I am able to get a call in to the clinic at 8 am to go see the doctor in the EK clinic.
Ok , so a senior F/O up for command wakes up with just a little chest pain , thats never been there before. His arm is a little numb. Its just pins and needles from sleeping on it he says to himself. His wife says , " hon you look ****e " , he says ah I am just a little tired I'll be ok , besides if I book off sick they will mark me absent. That will probably delay my command.
So he goes to work.
At VR the Captain calls Rotate and there is no response ..................
In a court a law gentleman the company culture could certainly come under the microscope.
