Suspicion of fatigued crew on Ethiopian accident in Beirut
Interviewing rather senior pilot, from foreign crews to retired ETH pilots now serving as instructors, they reckoned in general nothing has changed at Ethiopian Airlines Enterprise, and no one more qualified to present a different argument than the present CEO who has been serving this outfit for over 30 years.
Local pilots are subdued no only because there is no pilot union and nothing encouraging to allow them to present a genuine protest, Medical unit in collusion with Flight Ops to repress those who report sick often, and now the outrageous interview to those local pilots who are no longer cooperating to fly on GDO's.
Now, charity starts at home, and the fault party is the diverse group of pilots, who ultimately pay the price, as some fly unlimited hours without concern for ECARAS rules that are clearly reflected in the FOM, incidentally to be monitored by V.P.Ops, but turning the blind eye on those who constantly exceed the limits with the excuse of serving company interests. Make no mistake, the moment there will be an incident or accident, the investigation would reveal exceedances from pilots to F/A's, as the shortage extends to the level of motor pool drivers who are never in time with the usual excuse there is even shortage of drivers, not vehicles.
When you read articles posted in the African continent about the success of Ethiopian Airlines, is no one else success but the company squeezing every minute of every employee, and not even a letter of commendation or gratitude for those going the extra mile, so how could this be a successful airline if their employees are constantly battered with all sorts of treats, from ABS reflected in those days they reject an assignment to constant intimidating meetings at Flight Ops to justify why are your shoes without lace??
Locals and foreigners are preparing a united front to obtain a responsible answer from whom is allowing all this disturbance to take place, safety is a big concern, and only him will pay the ultimate price, when we see that all this false advertisement about the success of Ethiopian, is nothing else but a big lie.
IFALPA, ICAO and other aviation organizations are reviewing the cover up of the Beirut accident, there was no foul play, no inexperienced crews, simply the result of abuse and exceedances that ultimately were paid with innocent lives who trust this brand.
We all know in the international arena that Africa is the dark continent, or because peoples are black, but because corruption is galore. If you are still employed with ETH, it is about time you search for plan B as all departments micromanaged but their own CEO are nothing but sources for repression if you do not follow their daily plan, even when they know and you know they have exceeded all operational limitations.
Notning can stand constant stress, even steel cables sooner or later snap if not provided with relief.
Stay away from this conspiracy, else you are by default to blame with the silence of the lambs.
