Incidents such as this may well be a manifestation of the corporate culture within an airline and especially in its day to day operations. This incident may be regarded by some as insignificant, but next time the outcome may be different. As mentioned earlier in this post there are a number of EASA aviation authorities who are falling well short in the oversight of their operators,training providers and TRTO's.

I speak from experience. I have witnessed first hand such an operation.

Rushed approaches and unstable landings on a daily basis with no reporting. Level busts, no reporting. Despatching outside the MEL a regular accepted practice. No regard to flight time limitations; easier just to change your report time. Flap overspeeeds every week, no reports and no tech log entries.Taking off over weight, no reporting. No active flight data monitoring and an ineffective flight safety department; just an office and a desk. Little or no adherance to company SOPs. The list goes on. The worst perpetrator; the flight ops director himself.

To cap it all, operating a pay to fly scheme with low houred cadet pilots.

EASA land a level playing field ?
