I would also challenge the validity of the termination. Because, who is making the company look bad... the person reporting or the airline doing the bad behavior? But even if the employee is correct they get to terminate you before you prove your innocence.

Many of us are hamstrung by our employers' extensive and exceedingly restrictive social media policies and are unable to speak out due to fear of retaliation and losing our jobs. SWAPA is complicit in SWA's bad behavior on many fronts. SWAPA protects SWA, not SWA pilots.

And those good old boys in the FAA who are touted to have airline experience are overseeing SMS, AQP, TEM, and have not a clue what it means because as quoted from one of these pilot gone to the FAA "I don't know what that means, I left before it took effect" in reference to AQP and SMS. Revolving door... FAA administrators go on the boards of airlines, Airline Executives become the new administrators. No checks and balances. Sad state of the industry for sure.

As to what is happening in this country, accountability no longer applies: no principles, no morales. Boeing had a great reputation until they took over Missouri’s McDonnell Douglas and the management style of anything for the almighty dollar and looked what happened. Retired pilots go to work for FAA which is now a pilots good old boy organization and allow the foxes (airlines and their manufacturers) to oversee the chickens. Was that the plan? There was a time where government was in place to protect its citizens. Now, all government and capitalists have joined together to screw its citizens anyway they can. Deregulation was good in somethings until its demise due to Congress and Reagan. There are no longer checks and balances. And based on what is going on in airline industry, it is apparent that regulations are in order, even for “what is morally right from wrong.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-28067334093429802282024-03-13T07:09:36.676-07:002024-03-13T07:09:36.676-07:00Accountability is why Boeing having all their prob...Accountability is why Boeing having all their problems. McDonald Douglas brought their greed with them in merger. Then the FAA taken over by retired pilots with “kickbacks” from their airlines. Then the airlines get to monitor themselves. Public safety “be damned.” The FAA is the most accountable in all of this along with Congress and Reagan for deregulation. I know most people don’t like regulations, but it’s that or sitting next to a window and praying it doesn’t blow out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-6927998420003987042024-03-06T08:03:42.712-08:002024-03-06T08:03:42.712-08:00I would love to know who Uncle Al is... if you can...I would love to know who Uncle Al is... if you can share.

They claim an abundance of caution so another GermanWings tragedy does not occur. This is a BS excuse. Boeing gets away with murder. The 2nd crash of the Max is tantamount to murder. <br /> Disciplining pilots for calling in fatigued is another issue. In another instance of the HIMS weaponization; UPS submitted false statements obtained from pilots with duis and refusal to submit to chemical tests to two FAA HIMS AMEs in order to terminate Capt. Doug Greene. It appears these duis were not disclosed to the FAA. Greene addressed fatigue issues regarding the crash of UPS 1354 SO he had to GO. The FAA & UPS have irrefutable evidence that false statements were used to send Greene to a medical exam. The FAA & UPS have not acted as required by FARs, UPS policy and other SMS requirements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-32246851840863645432024-01-30T09:24:43.960-08:002024-01-30T09:24:43.960-08:00there are so many chilling passages in this post I...there are so many chilling passages in this post I don't know where to start. thanks for shining a light, Karlene. everyone, share and comment and post on socials! and contacts the politicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-69520104938318898052024-01-27T15:13:37.451-08:002024-01-27T15:13:37.451-08:00Hcb...
