It's not the fact he drowned a family pet, not his, that worries me. It's how he deceived afterwards that concerns me.....
What do you actually expect him to do at this point though. Neighbour comes around asking if youve seen the lost dog. Youre not going to say "actually, I drowned it" are you.mrloudly said:
You wouldn't really expect him to go out searching with the owners, that really is twisted! "Can't come out tonight, I'm working later" would have done the trick...
I think its a bit like those missing children appeals on the TV, where its 90% of the time one of them thats actually done it.el stovey said:

What does the fact that he's a "Flyby pilot" have to do with anything?
Find it strange you have to ask this question...So why is the blokes employer of any relevance? What are you going to do with this information? Have you seen the disclosure Scotland of all the pilots of all the aircraft you fly on? It's unnecessary sensationalism.

The matter of relevance comes down to the fact he is a pilot - pretty simple.
What do you mean by "Have you seen the disclosure Scotland of all the pilots of all the aircraft you fly on" ?

People have professional and personal lives. I fail to see how what someone does in their own time affects their abilities to do their job.
I can think of many examples where your logic falls over.Teacher who watches kiddy porn in their spare time
Surgeon who has a history of hurting others for self gratification
Police officer who is a member of a racist organisation
The list could go on
A man who may well be psychotic flying 80 people and several tonnes of jet A1 around is a potential disaster. He might just be someone who lost his rag, he might be a lunatic. His being a pilot is not specifically relevant to the case but his private life is very much a concern for his employer and his licensing authority as it should be.
Basically the moment your private life features criminality or addiction in certain professions it ceases to be private.

Would you expect to see a thread titled "RBS branch manager drowns neighbours dog! " or "Virgin train driver drowns neighbours dog!" how about "Carnival Cruise ship captain drowns neighbours dog!" "
I would.The one that sticks in mind is the Royal Mail workers caught up in football violence abroad a few years ago.
There should also be a comment on how much their house is worth.
king tI wonder if all the posters saying private and working life are two different things and a pilot is fine to fly having drowned a dog would care to review their thoughts in light of the Germanwings incident?
I would honestly take all possible actions to get off a plane I had boarded if I found out once on board that this dog killer was on the flight deck.
Just thought I'd add that a lot of the posts on this thread read very badly in light of what we now know about Lubitz.

"All I had to do was whistle and it trotted over. When it got to the fence, I picked it up and walked back across my paddock.
"There was some building work being done and a big bucket of water so I stuck it in the bucket until it stopped moving. I never thought of the consequences.'"
"He told police that he had drowned the dog for a minute or a minute and a half."
"He later returned to the body to try to cut a chip out of the dog's neck."
"I'd been told that the dog had a chip so I took a craft knife to try to remove it and I cut the back of the dead dog's neck open."
Woodhouse, who pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, resulting in its death, was sentenced to 12 weeks' imprisonment, suspended for two years.
He was also told to pay £2400 in costs and an £80 victim surcharge.
Luke Farajallah, Chief Operating Officer at Flybe, said: "Flybe is genuinely appalled at the nature of this situation and we would like to express our sincerest empathy to the family over the distressing loss of this special dog.
"We are taking this matter extremely seriously and can confirm that Captain Woodhouse is currently suspended pending a full investigation."

Firstly the drowning is bad enough, and then the attempted removal of the chip by cutting it from the animal's dead body?! Sick. Absolutely disgusting behaviour calling into question the man's judgement and character. I'm pretty sure they'll sack him and he may even be unemployable in his profession now.

Setting aside any moral considerations, that doesn't sound to me like the actions of a mentally stable person who should be in charge of the lives of hundreds of people.

Must admit it came up in What's New for me and presumed it would be in the News forum.
For me too. I'm sure it's not an attack on all pilots, Eric Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
