Quick suggested test for airline managers perhaps for use by the insurance industry. Read the following statements and decide which best reflect your airline's attitude and allocating points as follows:
Strongly agree 1 point, somewhat agree 2 points, unsure 3 points, disagree 4 points, strongly disagree 5 points
We carefully select a variety of pilots, on average with several thousand hours
We train to real proficiency and money on training is money well spent
Pay to fly with the training department as a profit centre is dangerous
Ensuring our pilots are well rested and avoiding roster changes is important
Safety is our priority, there is no punishment for go-arounds or diversions
If you have 10 points or less well done, we will be happy to insure you.
With 10 to 20 points you might like to consider some element of self insurance
Over 20 points we would strongly recommend you stop flying to Greece and other countries which have a history of sentencing airline managers to large fines and jail time.
