'And,by the way, pick up a little booklet on English grammar.'
It could be worse, he could have started a sentence with a conjunction.
It's pretty clear that something needs to be tightened up by the CAA or EASA here. If what is reported above is true - 'a boss who fires anyone who says no' - then the potential for the erosion of safety margins is massive and beyond what is acceptable in 21st century aviation. If there's no requirement for private or corporate owners to have a Safety Management System that can be used to back up the Captain in his decision making then that is something that needs to change. Even if it's a generic SMS produced by the CAA that all private owners have to subscribe to. It is beyond comprehension that an owner can still use the 'fly me or else' line. This has to change. It's not just airborne people that are at risk. As has been seen in recent months, innocent members of the public are proving to be equally vulnerable to helicopters falling out of the sky and for many, that's beyond the pale. CAA/EASA - do something! This cannot continue.
