They, united safety, used to publish a quarterly summary of notable irregular events entitled Safetyliner. At least I think that’s what it was called. Super shared discovery, simply told and de-identified. Too bad corporate liability exposure and public perception bias makes that kind of story telling a no go these days. In any case, ive drooled enough. Fly the friendly skies folks, you're in good hands.
Well said, and what we all should be concerned about is the outside influence that was applied in this event that changed the outcome for this crew. There is a process for all safety events, we trust that process and that the ERC and Aviation Safety will determine the outcome based on their expertise and without undue interference from anyone outside the process. We have now ventured into a space where that trust can no longer be assumed, that has terrible reprecussions for our safety culture and sets a precedent that puts all of us in jeopardy!
