Sounds like business as usual in the Far East aviation world;

To confront the JALways vp/pilot would constitute a grave loss of company face, unacceptable in that society, despite evidence that he may be dangerously unsafe. JALways is a HACS client, so HACS wouldn’t say bullpucky even if their collective mouths were full of it.

And so, when they want to get rid of you and can’t find an excuse to do it, they set you up for a sim bust and a psych check. The report from the two Japanese psychiatrists must make for some side-splitting, reality-tilting reading, I’d love to see it.

Hopefully these guys will get an out-of-court settlement if the publicity gets too hot for JAL.
