lamyna flo Did you really expect anything else from the press office of a loco who has just had their safety culture publically questioned or even exposed?

Of course they are going to try and personally discredit the OP here, what else do they have. I've seen this behaviour from another airline when one of their crew dared to question safety practices. It just didn't get so public.

If, as vuelling are trying to alledge, the OP was "unprofessional" over some time according to their release then it begs the question why they would be prepared to let him anywhere near a flight deck whist they conducted their investigations. They should have suspended him way before the ash cloud incident If he was so terrible.

That man was fired because he refused to take his plane into an ash cloud he, as the PIC, deemed unsafe and it cost vuelling money.

If vuelling are allowed to get away with this a dangerous precedent will be set for you guys.
