The public deserve to be safely flown by pilots who know what they are doing. That means proper training appropriate to their function. The knowledge of what to train pilots depends on their background, the type of operation, the terrain over which they fly and their environment - topographically, economically & politically. So unless you have clear knowledge about these I can not see how anybody can ask for their dismissal.

I also didn't talk about no-blame. These pilots should be accountable and quite rightly so. But that doesn't mean you sack them. It appears Wageslave might like to have them flogged as well. That would send an even clearer massage. But the sensible thing to do is use these guys to help build a safer world.

And while we are talking sanctions Wageslave, do you have a retribution scale? Say hard landing = one month's pay, burst tyre = weeks suspension, overspeed = sack. Punishment is the past, the future is trying to prevent incidents. And we do that by fixing things before they break. People with your approach will clog the arteries of information flow. And if you are indicative of your airline, god help your passengers.
