At a bizjet company I worked for it was seen as an indicator of good departmental management to have a healthy number of incident/occurence reports, as this was viewed as providing an opportunity to spot patterns and manage safety, thus saving money/rep/lives as the long term win. Staff were almost chased to submit stuff, and the FS team genuinely looked at each report as a learning opp. Perhaps this should be introduced as a KPI for mil commanders too - it would certainly force through the culture and be an antidote to chisselers at different levels, if they viewed no. of reports as a scorecard.
