Two very good posts....
Amused reader, I wish our pilot managers would be more forceful and slam their fists down on the table, if need be, to raise their concerns. I'm so tired of seeing them yield to one particular manager. Senior management must be made to understand that they need to implement some check and balance to any one manager's authority. This is not an industrial rant but a plea for a more common sense approach, an approach that will allow one manager's authority to be overridden and action taken when safety is being compromised.
In our industry we can minimize the risk with a more balanced decision making process.....we simply must find a way to mitigate against those who argue against a better approach to recruitment and training by always pointing to the cheapest option.
