Absolutely
NOT a hanging offence where I work. It happens, but very rarely. I would suggest any company that treats it as such needs to take a very good look at their culture in general. If and when it happens the procedures are often at fault and the crew are not the only point of failure. Hanging the crew achieves absolutely nothing except making some over officious manager feel like they have dealt with the issue, when in reality they have only made things worse. I thought our industry had moved on from this by now. It certainly has in the more developed operations. Of course there are exceptions and gross negligence or incompetence is not an excuse. In most cases however fear of punishment is an outdated mode of running an aviation operation and is more likely to induce further failure.
