Question
It seem to me tha we , Professional pilots, are getting like the doctors in the hospital, where intead to worry how to cure the patients they worry how much medicines they are given away and their cost.
Now taking example from them , why do we have to care if the mechanics change the tires or the brakes more often due to their usage?We have all those system on board in order to be used and not just to look at .
Long time ago I was flying in USA for a company that was using the Casa 212 .
in our training our chief pilot rather worry about the safety of the flight , he was worry of what the mechanics have to say if we were using to much oxygen on board, as for company training policy the usage of the oxygen was limited only to 15 minutes before the landing and not continuous but to be split with the other pilot on board , yes split, and in order to impose this policy the company removed one oxygen mask from the airplane (cargo airplane) to avoid that both pilots were using at the same time the oxygen.
