Money Talks, Safety once!
by Cezar Osiceanu
Nothing in aviation is in front of the chase after profit, not even the legendary primordial concept born with the aviation itself, the safety!
At the beginning of aviation, the pilots were not given parachutes to be their safe bosses that they would not leave the fight jumping with the planes to flames or destroyed.
Then the pilots appeared in the conception teams of the new aircraft, see the case of the Boeing wood cutter became a manufacturer of aircraft and even through the leaders of the airlines. This is how the concept of flight safety appeared, two minimum pilots appeared in the cockpit, then on long flights two crews and so on.
When things started to go well, the explosion of civil aviation came that caused the demand for pilots to grow crazy, but their « production » will stay long ago. And the hungry corporatists after the many aviation money and came from other industries without any connection with her have flown like fleas on a beautiful and healthy dog.
Aviation has a boy who is a beautiful, powerful, smart, good and healthy pilot and another … corporate!
Aviation has some unwritten laws grouped in a decalogue of each individual pilot. My decalogue is simple and inspired by my ancestors and mentors from whom many are forgotten! Pideu, Crainic, Răcaru, Ilau, Dan Andrei, Cracea and others that they contributed major in my education and training as a pilot during the 45 years aviation. The first thing learned was like Safety First! Always with or without fins.
Thus, at the long courier flights there are two crews of 2 pilots to ensure the flight, one executes the take -off, the climb to the cruise level, the descent and the landing, and the second flight to the cruise. In this way, an optimal way of preventing pilot fatigue, reducing pilot mistakes and increasing the safety level of the flight is ensured.
But after the great mergers and aggressive eliminations of aviation competition in the most mafia possible, to quote the unequaled Trump, and the fabulous corporate profits entered. So now they came with the new Emco concept, meaning a single pilot in the cabin when the other two pilots are at rest.
