Thank you for that lesson of safe thinking.
The war against pilots unions, and generally unions, is an old political story, lost by pilots whith A320 beginning. Engineers took the power, and refuse today to listen pilots' questions, are these questions about letal stalls or management, aso. Recent PPRuNe's threads show many exemples of that. If you risk to be fired, you accept not only these blackmails, most accept to risk their life... and passengers' life ! Korean pilots of Asiana 214 behaviour and no-communication with heads, in and out of the cockpit, is now worldwide. My thought . But I don't agree to call that "culture", isn't it ?
