The attitude to safety and CRM is exemplified by one Company I flew with who introduced some sweeping changes to SOPs which were based more on potential commercial liability rather than flight safety.
At no stage were the experienced pilots in said Company (many of whom who were far more qualified and experienced than those at the top who were changing the rules) consulted and/or asked their opinion about the changes.
The Companies preach the CRM mantra to flight crew and then take an authoritarian approach to instituting changes.
And then we wonder why flight safety is affected?
Any airline pilot should know how to do a visual approach with no glideslope.
I have never seen one that couldn't. How did they do that on a clear day? I hope we can do away with these push button pilots so we can go back to where we were.
bubbers44, quite the most succinct summary of the (sad) situation I have ever read.
