All of that requires the company to participate. They refuse to do anything above the minimum legal requirement so the matter is closed.
Well, no it's not. We drive the company to participate through pressure. Pressure comes from the use of all avenues of approach which includes discussions here.
Saying "The company isn't participating so it's a moot point and the matter is closed." resigns us to accepting the situation as is. As is we are approaching another crash.
So the solutions are obvious. The problem is driving the company and, to a lesser degree, the union to act. We can and should be doing more to attack this threat.
If you're frustrated with me stating obvious solutions, that's good. Turn that frustration to moving instructors, managers and chairs to get up and act.
People beyond our pilots and company are seeing this. Gradually, more folk will want to avoid being on the bloody side of our inaction come the next crash. They'll want this if only to protect their reputation and respective egos. Transparency will set the incentives to get our safety act together.
