View Full Version : What is the safety culture like at Etihad/Emirates/Gulfair
I would be interested in applying for any of these companies-
A330 driver.
How long and what kind of CRM training you get?
Checks- 2 days for each bi-annual- or only 2 days and 1 day?
LOFT's reflect CRM training?
Can you phone your safety manager at any time and discuss safety issues openly?

With questions like that, are you sure your not going to write a nasty newspaper article instead? I smell a journo... :yuk:

Maybe a newspaper article wouldn't be bad.
Include rostering / fatigue / flight & duty practices to your list.
:ok:

well i will say concerning qatar airways we have 2 type of rules(including safety and security):
-the first one: the THEORICAL ones (the one you will find in the book or the one tought to you during classes).
-the second one: the PRACTCAL one wich is the one applied by the ceo!(sometime far away from the theorical).

Being Devil's Advocate and assuming that you actually have some knowledge of the above. Do you think that there is an airline or even a company in the world without skeletons in the closet? (Good choice of phrase I felt) BA, Boeing, Airbus, Microsoft, Mc Donalds.......
What exactly do you guys hope to achieve by airing your 'views' in public? Something like this: 'Hey I know lets whistleblow, we will get a better roster, need more pilots and then they'll have to give us a payrise!'
More likely if what the 'cheeseman' above says is true it should have been: 'Hey I know lets; get Etihad's AOC suspended!' Guess what you are all out of a job! You won't get a payrise and will not pass go! One bright spot I suppose, at least you will be able to go to the next G8 summit as an out of work anarchist.
