I don't know if it's relevant, but I try to fly high in other ways.
The fact of the matter is--and I was never a member of any party--that you can't build a 100% immunity system. You need to have whistle-blowing protection because pilots need that outlet too. You just have to have it built into these systems. That's one reason why they don't want to reveal the tapes, because in the Swissair thing and in other things when people are under pressure...sometimes pilots don't always do the best job possible. Maybe their next of kin or other people are interested in how those pilots did, and they should have the ability, hindsight or otherwise, to know about that.
I don't think 100% of the pilots are so favourable about SMS that they don't see beyond their noses that there's more at stake than just whether they're protecting themselves.
