The statement about being worried about 'of being pressurised into failing certain pilots as unfit to fly, or risk losing his job' is a bit baffling.
Their could be two sentiments here.
Either the airline is worried about the ability of its training Captains to uphold a particular standard or there is political pressure to weed out individual employees.
Clearly there was some perceived pressure the pilot was worried about that was not present in his previous airline.
An odd statment to make to the press at the very least.
