Let me see if I can help you with "Duty of Care"?
We are all in this together, those who strap themselves to jets and those of us who are the voice in their ears telling them to go; where, when and how; to arrive, to start, to stop; and above all to look out. Sometimes we make a difference "Avoiding action, traffic was......." or "on centreline, on glidepath, passing decision height.. I'll keep talking till you tell me to stop", .. or "Mayday acknowledged.....". Mostly we're just there to help. Sometimes we're too busy, we get distracted, we mishear, we f..k up. I don't know anyone, after 22 years of mil and civil service who stops caring, who does it for the money or who doesn't hate the screw ups and get joy from the happy endings and timely banter. Underwriting the whole deal is the bond between us - we respect each other, but we know that we can all get it wrong (readbacks, level busts, fatigue, workload, stress, distractions......). If one of us says the wrong thing, the other party should know "right from wrong"; if the guy next to me drops a boŁŁock and I know, I tell him. We have a duty to care for ourselves, and above all, each other. We have a duty of care to know, what is correct and what is patently false. We have a duty of care to know where we must take the over-riding decisions.
Who was caring for the guy who had so much going wrong with his life that he said a dumb thing? Why was he there at all? Why is he left to stand up and be counted when so many others are shying away from their "duty of care"?
