sometimes the actions of the crew cannot be viewed in isolation from the corporate culture they happen in.
I am employed as pilot in a charter company. I have completed FSO training and would have been appointed as the FSO, but for the small hiccup of having fallen out of favour with the Director (owner) of the co. Something to do with not keeping my mouth shut re safety issues.Go figure.
Morale, motivation, loyalty are all rock bottom, fairly much non-existent actually. 90% contibuteable (spelling?) to the management style of the owner (divide and rule, treat them like mushrooms) and the other 9% the interaction of the Ops Manager with the crews, swearing at them on the phone, putting the phone down in their ears or actually ignoring them like a piece of furniture if you go to he's office to speak to him.
I have spoken to the Ops Man re one pilot that is regarded by more than one colleague as reckless and dangerous. Got the furniture treatment for my troubles.
Had same conversation with owner, no response at all. Didnt even blink. Cause this pilot in question is one of he's blue eyed boys.......
