Concerned

Well I can assure you of this. I have never gone public during my career within the QF Group, ever. So this is the first time, something has to be done. The last 18 months has become so bad that many of us Drivers are actually seriously concerned while taking the wheel in some aircraft. We rely on Engineers and safety systems to keep us safe, as well as our own ability. Many of us do not have that confidence any more that when we enter the aircraft we will arrive safely at our destination.
We can read it on the engineers faces. We see it in the reports. We hear it during our walkarounds and then we see things first hand. Our final line of defense, the regulator, has been captured by the red beast and is toothless to act.
When will it end? Or more to the point, how will it end?
