You mentioned that the Dornier manual says no flights into -FZRA. Is there something contradicting that in your company manuals? ALPA will be on your side and I don't see anything coming of this except a little egg on Skyway mngt's face.
Boys and girls this is why some sort of representation is very valuable. |
No action was taken against my FO which is how it should be. Although he supported me I'm thankful that he's been left out of this. There is nothing in our FOM or OPSPECS that says anything about -FZRA. The only thing they have is the fact that, since there's a holdover time for type 4 fluid in -FZRA that it's OK to take off (and we all thought that Type 4 stops providing protection as soon as the aircraft is off the ground - silly us!
).
I'm just afraid that when this goes to a hearing that my "judge, jury, and executioner" are going to be the CP & DO. If that's the case it leaves little to the imagination as to how they're going to decide.
