Swiss airline defends faulty maps for pilots
A Swiss airline admitted yesterday that inaccurate navigation maps were being supplied to its pilots, but insisted that passenger safety was not compromised. "Pilots have computers on board for navigation and they can call air traffic control," said Dominik Werner, spokesman for airline Swiss.
He was reacting to reports on the faulty maps in the Swiss Sunday newspapers Le Matin Dimanche and SonntagsBlick. The two papers pointed out printing errors for radio frequencies and guidance signals, approach angles and landing altitudes.
Peter Nussbaumer, a federal air accident investigator, had concluded that navigation maps had a direct relation to aircraft safety.
The spokesman for Swiss said there was absolutely no danger to passengers as a result of discrepancies appearing on maps to some European destinations, adding that the airline had no plans to rectify the errors.
Now you pilots had better keep your opinions about (the Safety issue of this) to yourself, according to
411A, who says, "...
....but if they want to continue eating, perhaps is best to keep opinions to ones self."
And on another matter,
411, "
Oh, and to digress...you still ain't got it right...'tis CRK, and always has been."..CRK is Clark AB, at Subic Bay, Phillipines. You had previously stated that your fantasy was going to be Indonesia-based, where CKG, Cengkareng, is one of the major airports.
"
And no union guys accepted, that's for sure. Far too many problems with 'em." IF your fantasy were ever to become reality,
411, it is people like you who make forming unions a NECESSITY to protect the employee!
