notapilot, #1573, I don't disagree with action before reporting, but I would question the assumption that most airlines learn from their own and others mistakes.
Have all of the mistakes been identified, is 'error' reporting as widespread as the Just Culture promoters imagine. Which operators share safety data, real data; there are some good examples, UKFSC, but what about the outsiders.
Is the reasoning behind 'the error' fully understood, e.g. It appears that many pilots in this thread have or have known someone who has learnt about the 777 TOGA AT GA functioning through experience (error), but how many of these events were reported, who else knew, and what action was taken.
Mandatory reporting is fine providing the report is a true reflection of the incident and contributing factors. Unfortunately pilots, humans, more often 'blame' themselves and do not question the technical system or wider influences affecting behaviour.
Also, who publicly reports incidents which do not fall into the mandatory categorisation.
A sceptical view maybe, but an optimistic sceptic.
