Don't we all know it all along ???
In our job, it's zero tolerance. Realistic or not, it's what we all strive for.
What is sad though, is that the people outside our profession will never be able to fully understand that.
With the present market climate, even some of our fellow aviator after spending too much time behind the desk tend to become myopic with the bottom line....
As commander, there is no running away from the responsibilty of any incident on his/her flight, whether there is other mitigating factors or not. All these incidents ( hopefully it stays as incidents )just emphasis and re-emphasis the importance of concerted effort ( CRM/Teamwork ) of each and everyone of us towards safety in our arena. Ultimately what any single one of us does will affect everyone else in time.
WRT SQ286 Captain - I am glad he is given a second chance and I wish him well.
