Not 1 but 3 check captains unqualified.
Not 1 but 3 serious accidents.
I will not allow my family to travel on what was once Crossair. There are some good pilots there of course but the airline should be used as a classic example of why accountants should not run airlines.
The mantra was operate as cheaply as possible. This of course meant get the cheapest pilots. Not all were bad of course but far too many were simply not up to scratch or ill-trained (to save $).
The net result has been tragic for Switzerland, the reputation of the country and the travelling public.
This is not intended as a Swissair/Crossair battle, just a look at reality. If what was Crossair can't even run region ops safely (this should now be beyond doubt) how can they operate a world-class airline? Some serious soul-searching needed at Swiss NOW, berfore more tragedy occurs.
