Messages from BALPA


The British Airline Pilots Association [BALPA], points out on the following video several very important messages/concerns in my point of view.

This short video message covers from the initial dreaming of becoming a pilot until the scams of nowadays' recruitment policies. Furthermore it warns the way a lot of professionals are working with their precarious contracts and its subsequent consequences for the flight safety.

Not only the pilots associations should tackle again these abuses but also all of us as final customers of this aviation industry. 
 
For me these words are very clear: "...to those in authority who regulate this industry we say wake up there is a real concern that this is an accident waiting to happen just as it did in Buffalo[1] in United States in 2009. The American authorities have woken up to this trend.." 

[1] - Colgan Air Flight 3407 -Will be discussed later on Sunday's Crash analysis post. 
 
RWY35-17
