I accept that harder punishments may be the answer.
I, as a virtual El Al pilot (not a member of El Al VA) stay tuned 100% precent of the time, always check for ATC's etc.
The only time I leave the cockpit is for no more than 5 minutes, and I leave a messege in the FP remarks.
I wish that your messege will improve the situation and hope to meet you on the radio =)
Thanks for bringing the subject up, it will only help!
