"He added: “My personal belief is that the majority of Ryanair pilots do not have confidence in the safety agencies and that is a pretty critical issue.”"
And how many "G-registered" professional pilots have confidence in the UK CAA SRG, or EASA or whomsever is supposed to be at the helm this week?!?!
Despite being informed repeatedly via confidential reports, the UK CAA SRG still fails to take effective, positive and permanent action against any UK operator who abuses the FTLs scheme, or overloads its ground engineers with excessive tasking or allowing underqualified technicians to work unsupervised on public transport aircraft. The only response we receive are mealy-mouthed quotes regarding the verbiage in the appropriate publication.
So I fear it's not just the IAA who need a kick up the
!
