Ethics and Values

Reading this to find out more about the "management" that we are presently negotiating with for our lives.
It doesn't look like ethics or values are words in their vocabulary.

Must read for everyone:

Found this thread on another page. Apologies for not making due reference to the author. Point being the following.

Reference to 'negotiating with for our lives'.i always thought that keeping knives etc off aircraft had a great deal to do with 'lives'? Funny how monetary gain, conditions and service etc, however justified warrant this kind of statement. Let's not go into ethics and values....... As PIC or FO you're entrusted and respected for your skills and professionalism. Demonstrate it by setting an example! It appears that the carriage of a prohibited article is not a problem as long as it's carried by a pilot, irrespective of the regulatory requirements. I'm certain almost all professional pilots would soon land their plane at the nearest airfield if they heard a pax had a knife in their cabin baggage at 35,000 feet. Or would they first seek clarification as to whether the pax was a pilot or not?
