Following the report being published bothboth Joyce and Buchanan, trough their respective organizations have rejected the view of the committee that employing pilots with less hours is less safe than the present arrangements. Given the authoritative evidence given by them and their peers, together with industry experts, this is a pretty arrogant approach at best.
This is certainly not the attitude of two airline CEO's that claim to put safety as a number one priority!!
Such a company would accept the fact that others, after careful consideration believe safety is being compromised and take appropriate action instead of the arrogance they have shown.
They have shown their true colours to the committee that improving safety has nothing to do with it, it is all about the cash.
Qf32 FO, MH in his final statement for 4 corners summed it up nicely when he said that to work in this industry you have to have an certain kind of openness otherwise people will just get killed, it's as simple as that. For those who don't want to do it, you are in the wrong industry!!
Alan / Bruce you are certainly not open to other views and it seems yours is the only view you are willing to consider. Time to get out of aviation I think and find an industry more fitting of your arrogance -if there is one of course!
