Southern Airlines pilot reported the company leaders for retaliation, official notification: The allegations are seriously inconsistent with the facts, and the technical ability has never reached the standard.

On the afternoon of June 17th, recent media reports revealed an incident where a pilot named Li from Southern Airlines reported company leaders by name. The pilot claimed that during his time at the Shantou branch of Southern Airlines, he faced retaliation for refusing to participate in entertainment activities arranged by the leaders. He was allegedly denied promotion to captain and then unfairly subjected to technical checks and grounded after refusing to accept bribes. He claimed that even after being transferred to the flight general team, he continued to face suppression, a sharp decrease in income, and obstacles to further training. Southern Airlines Flight General Team released a statement today stating that after verification, the situation reported by Li is severely inaccurate. Specific details are as follows: In recent years, the Flight General Team organized multiple flight training sessions for Li, arranged for training on different aircraft types, and assisted in transferring him to other airlines. However, Li repeatedly failed qualification checks and his technical abilities never met the required standards. Li expressed his dissatisfaction and repeatedly reported unfair treatment. The team and relevant departments took his reports seriously and conducted multiple investigations following proper procedures, but did not find any evidence of intentional difficulties created by inspectors or officials during his flight, training, or inspection activities. Li's demand for promotion to captain and related requests were not supported in accordance with regulations, and formal feedback was provided. During this time, the team actively tried to persuade Li to focus on improving his skills as a co-pilot and enhance his flight abilities, but Li consistently refused. Currently, the team has suspended his operations according to regulations.
