This was announced by GMO on Yammer on Monday night, in the company news today and it'll probably be in the weekly update tomorrow too. So not exactly being kept in the dark

yammer verb [ I ]

uk /ˈjæm.ər/ us /ˈjæm.ɚ/ mainly US informal

to talk continuously for a long time in a way that is annoying to other people:
She never stops yammering about that dog of hers.
He just kept yammering on, though noone was listening.

Yammer, the Cathay equivalent of Pokemon Go.

Anyone who participates is a(n) ... (fill in your own blank)

Fully disclosed? I see no Notice to Crew nor an email in my company email.

STP, I expect better of you... than to participate in Cathay Go.

Oval,

You obviously do not know STP very well then. Yammer(ing) is exactly what I expect from him.

@Oval3Holer

True but I'm not sure NTCs are the right medium to promulgate details of an operational incident until lessons have been learnt and, perhaps, advising of an impending procedural change. Not sure how many people look at their company email.

Good one!

No mention of the hydraulic leak onto hot brakes on 883 a few days ago?

I bet someone's going to say it's on Yammer.

Now that an entire newsletter is devoted to how we don't know what to do when the autopilot doesn't fly the aircraft properly, is it any wonder that reporting "minor" incidents has taken a back burner? What's more important is that we've lost the ability to fly the aircraft. We can monitor, but when we see something wrong, we don't know what to do. Sad. Time to do what Captain M.S. just did at age 50... get out of this rotting "profession."
