Until the Regulatory authorities if that what you want to call them untie themselves and unbecome box tickers and sub departments of the airlines this isn't going anywhere and nothing is going to change.
Do you really think the HKCAD is a forward thinking big picture department ? No chance ! They are a bunch of box ticking fuel log checking nitwits with absolutely not much idea
Its just absoluty insane CX can get away with D N G a pilot who stood up and manned up to a safety issue only to be threatened , absolute madness and its our ' regulatory bosses' and ' corporate safety department ' who let them get away with it ....
