No offense, but your brother being a pilot with them seems irrelevant on whether they are 'pretty good with safety' or not. Working there is a pretty big bias

- avh02 6y agoI dunno, there's some jobs you see from the inside you think "wow, this is a disaster" but from the outside it looks fine because that's what the company projects. (Anecdotally, a friend of mine gets horror stories from his brother, who's a mechanic with a very large airline)
- silasdavis 6y agoIn Ryanair's case that bias may run in the opposite direction to that which you imply: https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/cqwdgxed80gt/ryanair-pilots-strike https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/cqwdgxed80gt/ryanair-pilots-...
- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoWho else (short of the CEO) would you consider more qualified to comment on the safety culture in a company? Pilots seem uniquely qualified to judge whether a company is prioritizing safety or short-term profit. For example, a pilot will know whether the company incentivizes pilots to overlook issues to make a flight happen or whether it encourages a safety culture of speaking up and staying on the ground when something comes up, or whether they fly with the absolute minimum of fuel permitted or a little bit more (and whether that is a safety issue or not).
