As of right now stall/slow speed followed by proper recover technique is still covered. Rumor is that FAA is rumbling about removing asap protection for all such events...ultimately it's their ball, they can take it and go home. ASAP is a privilege, not an unalienable right.
I get that, but in this particular case stuff is happening and the pilots need to know...better the hard truth than the company is blowing sunshine up our butts. It's a crappy situation all around...no way to keep it all rainbows and unicorns.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying or the ramifications. This is not the way for the company to make things safer. It's going to have the opposite effect. It's very chilling to tell pilots that they are going to be strictly monitored, despite whatever actually happens. You don't make things safer with threats. A down to earth, facts only, no bs, serious, professional letter would've been better. But they decided to get the hammer out instead. Bad bad culture being instilled. Who knows, maybe it's always been that way. I'm still blown away about there actually being a list of the offenders. Serious punitive culture with that. Please correct me, and the original poster, if that's not true. But so far, even though I've mentioned it multiple times, no one has refuted it.
