Regarding the issue of non-culpable reporting of incidents, I understand that the airline knew because they were 20 minutes late. I was actually on a First Air flight from Edmonton to Yellowknife, which was then going on to Rankin Inlet, and that same flight the week prior had accidentally flown to Resolute, which is a significant distance away from Rankin, and the passengers were all very surprised to learn that it had landed in Resolute. I don't believe anybody was fired over that.
My point is that it would send a chill through the entire organization if a 20-minute mistake ended up costing someone their job, and I'm not sure that is in keeping with the spirit of SMS.
Let me shift gears a little bit. You or your member companies have applied for exceptions to allow fewer flight attendants on flights, and you intend to implement these exceptions sometime in September. Is that correct?
