An interesting report about Lion Air pilots knowingly exceeding flight and duty time limitations.
The video contained a statement from the director of transportation/aviation. It smacked of shutting the stable door.............
Having been in many airlines in various States over many years i have found this attitude very common. The manuals submitted for approval have all the correct language, but the day to day reality is very different. I even had one Flt Ops manager say that if crews worked to rule, i.e. their contract, and if all XAA rules were observed to the letter the airline might as well close down. And that was in Europe. What chance the developing world? The pax had better watch out. They have more knowledge about their health & safety with what food they eat than how they trust their lives to third parties who try to defy gravity.
