Credibility

Aviation is a cyclical industry, meaning that should the economy tank, the industry is one of the first to be hit. It’s always been like this and probably always will be. Companies come and go but the people remain. This is one of many reasons that the personal reputation and credibility of people in the industry is so important, and is taken seriously by those who have been around for any length of time.

However if something should happen and you are injured at work, then place your name on a WCB claim all the credibility you’ve worked for is gone in an instant. Regardless of any accomplishment you may have achieved, you become labelled, like us as deadbeats looking for a free ride and that title remains until you are told otherwise, it is the way the Canadian safety net system works.

In this mess there isn’t one of us who were poisoned at this jobsite who have the slightest problem in comparing our credibility and reputations with our accuser, judge and jury, WorkSafe BC. Or anyone else for that matter. So what I’m going to do in the next few posts is lay out information here for you to form your own opinions. It serves no purpose to attempt to distort any of this, it is what it is.

Reputations do not come freely, good or bad they are earned.
