Does it not put safety at risk by intimidating pilots to the stage that their jobs are at risk if they speak out about what they perceive as a safety issue?
If it is not a safety issue in the end it will be pointed out by the IAA and the airline will be proven right and be seen to promote a healthy safety culture.
Threatening pilots with recrimination and a threat of loss of their jobs is hardly conducive to a healthy flight safety culture. What does the airline have to hide if indeed these pilots are wrong and talking out of their proverbial?
