Stan do you know that Rubik kept his "gob shut" for certain?
I very much doubt he did keep his "gob shut" in his own way of discussing issues on the flight deck. You or I can not say. Working for RYR is not a crime or is not ill-moral and Rubiks money was hard earned at RYR. So please do not criticise people for where they are employed as it serves no purpose.
If he didn't openly criticise management I would say he was a very wise man considering the risks involved to openly and publicly speaking out in such a hostile environment. A place where CCTV cameras sit poised over pigeon holes in crewrooms to stop free speech where the company mail shots anti BALPA propaganda into these pigeon holes and on the company intranet system known as "Crewdock". The disgraceful treatment of Capt. John Goss by RYR management concerning pigeon holes being of first and foremost in my mind.
A place where various consultants could be paid huge amounts of money to strategise on stopping RYR pilots openly communicating with management. Communication processes between both parties that are listening to each other in a fair, open and none threatening way. Eversheds being an example of this type of company that advises on employment contract law concerning employee status and temporary worker status to employers.
Communication and fair dealing is all RYR pilots want.
