I agree with all the sentiments expressed here, having felt pretty angry when the letter first came out but then seeing that MH is doing a delicate dance between communicating his real thoughts to us and being seen to do the right thing by those above.
But also, if anyone reports the crew for causing a delay and someone 'important' wanted to investigate a particular flight, would the minion's report not lead them to the CAR which would then tell the real story? In reality who reads the CARs or any other report anyway?
So things are exactly as they've always been.
