Excellent post fliion, as Don said, nail on the head. 200LR, you are correct. I followed managements advice....I didn't like it...so I left. However, if you seriously believe that the fear culture does not affect a great many of the pilots in EK, either you have not read the hundreds of ' something nearly happened, but it didn't ASRs' ( bird on engine or was nearly unstable, but wasn't, are two examples that come to mind)either that, or you are living in a river in Egypt.
