Shortly,

Read my first post on this thread again, you weren't mentioned unless you are one of the managers you are so complimentary about!

My concerns are about the lack of immediate information to the crews concerning recent incidents ( particularly one with all flight instruments misreading due an ADC fault) which would help them to cope with the problem if they should suffer it.

The concern about the SCMP should be euther ignored or dealt with by making a public declaration that in the interests of safety all incidents are promulgated to promote a learning culture and therefore a safer operation.

I've always thought that following an incident, a large part of the Flight Safety bit was to let the rest of us know what happened, asap, so we could hopefully avoid ending up in the same situation.

Here we are a week or so after the event and ........... squat!

Regardless of the reasons for the silence, how stupid would it be if there was a reoccurence because the first incident hadn't been publicised?

BusyB,
Maybe you should re-read your post.

Shortly,

Gosh, you do get yourself confused with quotes like:-

"quite liberal middle level managers we have in FOPS at the moment"

"all we ask for is understanding from our Bosses and a fair hearing"

I agree though in that once incidents have been properly and thoroughly investigated then the results should be made accessible to all aircrew. As far as I can see this is what happens now. I don't agree that incidents should be made public at all until the normal processes have been completed. It is not fair to those involved.

Shortly,
Try checking with the Air Safety department. I can assure you that they cannot release details that they'd like the crews to know.
