As the previous thread has been closed Here's a thought.
If you decide to increase penalties against offenders, how many of them will report damage?
How many will walk away from an a/c with a gaping hole in it's side?
Answer:- Quite a few. It has already happened, The policy used to be (at least at the stations I have worked at) to not apportion blame to these incidents.
More recently this has changed to sacking the alleged offender on the spot!
Result:- more incidents not reported, and only by the grace of....etc has the damage been discovered before it became more serious, often after the a/c has returned to main base after being damaged off base!!
Mistakes are made. Better to own up, safely in the knowledge of saving an a/c instead of ones job?
