Attacking those who are speaking out... This is a new level of a low for humans doing bad deeds for money. But putting the passengers at risk, is never a good thing.

The entire safety of our system is based upon a reporting culture... reporting things that they think could go wrong, be wrong, needs to be changed... etc. We'll get there!Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-13394805616870970512016-08-25T22:46:06.544-07:002016-08-25T22:46:06.544-07:00Thanks for bringing this on.

It is their obligation to make the process better.<br />And it is wrong that they get punished for that.analonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898253137814040927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-29468028111095922962016-08-25T19:44:33.247-07:002016-08-25T19:44:33.247-07:00It is scary what private companies such as Airline...It is scary what private companies such as Airlines do to Whistle Blowers. This is why regulation is important. I know that this effects airplane manufactures as well. As a passenger I put blind faith in an airline. The least thing I want to hear about is airlines trying to dismiss employees for pointing out safety issues. As I recall and employee that was afraid to speak up indirectly lead to ASA 261. As a passenger never forget that our lives are in your hands. Be prepared to file the needed paperwork and if you see something say something.

I completely understand what they are going through, too. Yes, they are women. There have been men, but from what I know of these ladies (and a common female trait)is that women are fixers. We don't fit in that good old boys club to continue when something seems wrong, we say something, because we need to make it better. <br /><br />I suspect this was mother natures way of survival of the species... to make mothers good at hazard identification and risk analysis. We could not allow the babies go kill themselves. So, we are always scanning the environment to see what they "could" get into, and what "could" happen and what might not be a good idea. I was definitely better at that than my husband. <br /><br />This is why I work the gate when we are giving kids free flights. I see those kids, and know the power of a prop, and understand what could happen if someone is not on top of it, and making a theatrical effort watching out for planes, while going to the plane is much worth the effort. <br /><br />I'm with you trying to assess what kind of wisdom makes these decisions. But, unless we educate and speak out nothing will change. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your comment!

I suspect that you know someone who is/was caught up in a similar mess; one simply cannot make this stuff up! I hope that they came through the process OK. I do not know, yet suspect that the ordeal is even more difficult for women; All U.S. carriers have had women pilots for decades, but that does not mean that the "Old Boys" network is happy about it. I hope that your friend came/comes through the mess OK. --And to think that it usually revolves around Safety Issues makes it that much more frightening to me. Honestly, it makes me question the wisdom of flying on U.S. based carriers when there is a choice. Thanks for posting this Karlene. - Craig<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
