This is a bit of an old 'chesnut' & i think everyone understands what is at stake.
Unfortunately not everyone has been in the position of having an 'almost' intolerable level of pressure applied. Currently there are more pilots & engineers than there are jobs .
It is the case with most of us that we have responsabilities that exert themselves more when the pressure is on,such as the family & the mortgage. I know at present if i lost my job it would very difficult to get another with similair pay & conditions.
All of these serve to make it easier for management to up the ante.
Unfortunately as a regulatory body the CAA seems loathe to employ its 'might' in just such circumstances as are discribed, the thought of the management being told to put its own house in order seems to display a 'touching' level of innocence.
I am unsure if the CAA lack the inclination or the teeth to properly regulate the industry. Having seen how the CAA 's 'concerns'have been addressed by my current & former employers
the cutters of corners, bullys & rule benders have little to fear.
