There seem to be a lot of unhappy pilots at RYR. Unhappy pilots can be dangerous pilots.

If you abuse machinery, it will let you down at some stage. If you treat your personal as machines and abuse them, they will let you down, sooner or later.

You will get more productivity from a person who is happy, than unhappy. Same in the simulator, as people perform better in a relaxed and happy environment than one of pressure and fear.

I don't know where all this will lead but it will only take one bad accident (God forbid) to wipe the profits (gained by screwing crew) right out and the smiles off one or two faces. It could ruin a company.

Accident investigators normally find out what went wrong and when. They do not however, have the expertise to know if the crew members involved had their "minds on the job". Pilot error? The question should also be asked is why, the error.

Companies go to great lengths in screening crews to avoid this very thing but once, or before, the crews make the cut, they are abused!
