Corporate power structure is in direct conflict with FARs. FAR gives primary decision making power to pilots, but corporate structure essentially makes the CEO a dictator. And we have a culture and a legal system that defers to that CEO when there's no accidents. And then there's all kinds of outcry and hindsight if there's an accident. We really aren't creating fully trustworthy conditions for timely whistleblowing as evidenced by the fact multiple pilots expressed concerns, and now people are dead. I've lost count how many NTSB reports, dozens, I've read where corporate power dictated operational outcome to a pilot against the pilot's better judgment, and everyone on board dies. And every time NTSB says the corporate dictate is a contributing factor to the accident, but ultimately the accident itself was due to pilot error. So strictly blaming the pilot isn't eliminating accidents where the pilot's judgment was perturbed by company pressure. If the company is shown to have intimidated pilots, there needs to be accountability for it, and serious consequences.
