Uma umshayeli wakho efuna ukuphahlaza indiza yakho. . .

Uma ungamethembi umshayeli wendiza, ubani ongamethemba endizeni? Lo mbuzo uya ngokuya uba udaba kule minyaka engu-20 edlule.

Kunephethini yokuphahlazeka, ukudunwa kwezimoto okubangelwa ukwazi ngabantu abafanayo ncamashi abakhokhelwa nguwe ukuze bakususe endaweni A kuya ku-B ku-aircaft ephephile.

NgoMashi 24, 2015, indiza ye-German Wings i-9525 yaphahlazeka entabeni ngamabomu.

Ukukhohliswa ngamabomu kokulawula indiza ngabashayeli bezindiza nakho kubangele ukuphahlazeka kwendiza yeJapan Airlines indiza engu-350 (1982), indiza yeSilkair engu-185 (1997), i-Egypt Air Flight 990 (1999), kanye nendiza ye-LAM Mozambique Airlines engu-470 (2013). Kunemibuzo ebambekayo mayelana nokuthi ukuziphatha ngamabomu kweqembu lendiza kuholele ekunyamaleni kwendiza i-Malaysian Airlines i-MH370.

Ngo-1986, i-China Airlines flight 334 yadunwa omunye wabashayeli bezindiza, yaphambukiselwa e-Guangzhou lapho umshayeli wendiza aphambuke khona. Ngo-1994, umzamo womshayeli wendiza owayengekho emsebenzini “ephelelwe yithemba” wokuphahlazeka indiza ye-Federal Express 705 wavinjwa ithimba lendiza elalwa. Ngo-2014, i-Ethiopian Airlines indiza engu-702 yadunwa isikhulu sokuqala yase idluliselwa e-Geneva lapho yacela khona ukukhoseliswa kwezombusazwe.

Ngo-April 2015, umshayeli wendiza iCathy Pacific eyayihlelelwe ukundiza isuka eLondon-Heathrow iya eHong Kong waboshwa ngaphambi kokugibela indiza, ngemva kokutholakala nemimese engekho emthethweni.

Iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amathathu, abashayeli bezindiza abahlushwa ukucindezeleka ngokomzwelo, izinkinga zezimali kanye nengqondo baye basebenzisa izindiza njengesikhali sokuzikhethela ukuqeda izimpilo zabo, baqeda ukuphila kwamakhulu abagibeli abangenacala kule nqubo. Lesi isikhumbuzo esinzima sokuthi izindiza ziyizikhali ezibulalayo uma ziqhutshwa abantu abangalungile.

Kuzo zonke izehlakalo ezibalulwe ngenhla, abashayeli bezindiza ababephethe babenikezwe ilayisensi ngendlela efanele, futhi benezidingo ezifanele ezisohlwini lwesithasiselo sokuqala (Ukunikezwa Kwelayisense Yabasebenzi) kuNgqungquthela Yezokundiza Kwamazwe Ngamazwe, okuhlanganisa nezitifiketi zokufaneleka kwezokwelapha ezisebenzayo.

Imibiko yophenyo yokuqala neyokugcina (i-Egypt Air kanye ne-Silk Air iyaphikiswa) yazo zonke izehlakalo ezingenhla idalula ukucindezeleka kwengqondo okukodwa okufihliwe- okungabonakali kubathumeli, izisebenzi zamakhabethe, abanye abashayeli bezindiza noma abagibeli.

Imithetho yezokuphepha ye-Civil Aviation kufanele inikeze ukuhlolwa ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo kwabashayeli bezindiza. Abashayeli bezindiza kufanele badalule amaqiniso ezokwelapha mayelana nomlando womuntu siqu, womndeni kanye nofuzo.

Abashayeli bezindiza akufanele baphathwe yinoma yisiphi isifo noma ukukhubazeka okungabenza bangakwazi ukusebenzisa indiza ngokuphepha, noma ukwenza imisebenzi abayabelwe ngokuphepha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abashayeli bezindiza akufanele babe nomlando wezokwelapha omisiwe noma ukuhlonzwa komtholampilo kokuphazamiseka kwengqondo, ukuziphatha, ukukhohlisa, okuhlobene nengcindezi, i-neurotic, ukukhula kwengqondo, imizwa noma okunye ukuphazamiseka kwengqondo.

Ezimweni eziningi uma usuphasile kufanelekile ngesikhathi sokuthola isitifiketi sokwelashwa futhi wakhipha ilayisense, umshayeli wendiza akudingekile ukuthi aphinde athole isitifiketi unyaka wonke.

Ezinye izinkampani zezindiza zifake izigatshana ezincwadini zazo zezandla nemihlahlandlela yokusebenza evimbela noma yiliphi ilungu leqembu lendiza ukuthi lenze kanjalo, uma lizwa ukuthi isimo salo somzimba noma somqondo singabeka engcupheni ukuphepha endizeni.

Ngeshwa, izigaba ezinjalo zingasebenza kuphela uma abasebenzi bekhululekile ngokudalulwa. Izimo ezinjengokucindezeleka ngokomzwelo okuhlotshaniswa nobudlelwane/imishado ehlulekile noma eyinkinga, noma ubunzima bezezimali bungaba namahloni futhi bubhekwe njengomuntu. Imfuneko yokudalula ingase ithathwe njengokuhlasela ubumfihlo.

Kodwa-ke, ubumfihlo akumele kube ilungelo eliphelele kubashayeli bezindiza, ikakhulukazi lapho amakhulu abagibeli abangenacala bethembele ekuzethembeni nekhono leqembu lendiza, abathemba ukuthi lizobaletha ngokuphepha lapho beya khona.

Izimo zomzimba ziyaphenywa futhi zixazululwe ngokuhlolwa nokuhlolwa kwezokwelapha okujwayelekile, imvamisa yazo ekhuphuka ngokuya ngeminyaka.

Izinkinga zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi, zamehlo nezezwa zingaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile, zicutshungulwa ngokujulile njengoba abanikazi bamalayisensi bekhuphuka ileli yobudala.

Ukucindezeleka kwengqondo, kungakhathaliseki imbangela, kuthinta yonke iminyaka yobudala. Ithebula elingezansi libonisa izehlakalo, ukuqokwa kanye neminyaka yabashayeli bezindiza abanomthwalo wemfanelo.

Umuntu ocindezelekile ngokwengqondo akaguli futhi angase abukeke njengomuntu ovamile. Ngaphandle kwalokho, imbangela yokucindezeleka okunjalo yayingavela ngemva kokuqinisekiswa ngumlawuli njengokufanele ukundiza.

Ngeshwa, akunakwenzeka ukuthi abasebenzi bazohlale bedalula imininingwane yomshado wabo, imizwa, zezimali nanoma yiziphi ezinye izinkinga ezingase zidale ukucindezeleka kwengqondo.

Lokhu kudinga izinguquko ezinqala yiNhlangano Yomhlaba Wonke Yezokundiza, isibonelo; ukwenza ukudalula kube yimpoqo (ngesincomo sokuthi amazwe angamalungu akhiphe izinhlawulo ezinzima uma kwenzeka engahambisani nomthetho), ngokufaka abasebenzi basendizeni ukuhlolwa okungahleliwe kwe-polygraph, ukuhlolwa kwengqondo kanye nokwelulekwa. Ngethemba, le nqubo yokuhlola ingagcina ingekho izisebenzi ezithanda ukuzibulala.

Izinguquko ezinjalo kufanele zisebenze nakubalawuli bezindiza, izisebenzi zemikhumbi, onjiniyela kanye nabo bonke abantu abahlotshaniswa ngokuqondile noma ngokungaqondile nokusebenza kwendiza, izenzo zabo noma ukweqiwa kwazo ngamabomu kungase kubeke engcupheni ukuphepha emoyeni.
