A. It's a bold assertion to make without knowing the pilots/doctors etc,
B. the company sets the criteria for A380 'return on investment',
C. The company has discretion in allowing 'demotion training',
D. It's disingenuous to infer that it's more than
very few questionable instances, and (KB)
E. given the perceptions of company integrity & openness over the last few year it's ironic that,
if a few "play the same game", the concept of integrity or lack thereof gets bandied around about pilots in general. This sort of thing happened even at the incomparable Southwest Airlines in the USA, so it's not new; it's just new to QF in the last few years. Anyone want to write a treatise on human nature?
I'm not defending it
if its real, but reaping & sowing come to mind.
