Aviation: Flight crew
The concern related to the training received by first officers in relation to a new procedure being introduced by the operator.
The concern related to the availability of food to the flight crew during flight time.

The concern related to a procedural change which the reporter felt would reduce the safety in the cabin if an emergency occurred and the cabin had to be evacuated.
The concern relates to the changes which are being made to the flying roster and the possibility of increased fatigue due to these changes.
The concern related to the standard of rest facilities available to the operator’s flight crews at Adelaide Airport when they were rostered for a split duty period.
The concern related to the operator’s removal of the Jeppesen hard copy library of Enroute and Terminal charts and publications before the electronic replacement documentation was fully operational.
The reporter advised that the operator was forcing pilots to fly aircraft which do not have serviceable autopilots or instrumentation lighting in IMC.
The concern related to the stress placed on flight crews due to the way senior management are handling the management of economic pressures.
The concern was that when using the PRL transition during the RNAV approach, the flight management system (FMS) tended to cut the corner as the turn is 108 degrees. This left the aircraft high on the final approach profile.
