PJ2. Interesting. As an outsider - SLF - I would never think that someone in charge of Safety would report to anyone having anything to do with Operations. I am appalled that this is not seemingly the case.
You say the two positions are mutually exclusive due, mainly, to the fact that Operations also has to control costs. But if safety takes a hit doesn't that eventually affect the "bottom line", costs and , indirectly, Operations?
It would seem to me anyway that all divisions of Safety within an airline organization should report directly to the CEO. Makes sense to me anyway. And eliminates the possibility of any filters being applied to safety reports.
