Pilots seek rights
PA Auckland Airline pilots want a legal right to participate in aircraft accident investigations. The Airline Pilots*' Association has decided to ask the one-man Royal Commission of inquiry into the Mount Erebus DCIO crash to make recommendations accordingly. ■ “We want the right in law for the association to participate in any accident in which our members are involved,” Captain T. E. Watts, the technical director of the association, said.
Members of the association had been included in the Mount Erebus investigation team, but copoperative attitudes might not always remain the same, he said.
The association wanted not only to ensure the rights of members who were involved in air crashes were protected, but to ensure that the true facts were brought out.
