ALTDEV ON CLB; OVERSHOT ALT.

Narrative

WE HAD AN OVERSHOOT OF ALT BY 350 FT. AS WE WERE CLBING AT 2000 PLUS FPM; I TOLD CAPT BY POINTING TO ALT AT 19700 FT AUTOPLT ALT PRESELECT HAD EITHER NOT BEEN SET OR WAS CANCELLED. (IT WAS CANCELLED ONCE PREVIOUSLY BY THIS CAPT ON SAME FLT.) HE DID NOT RESPOND UNTIL I VERBALLY SAID 20000 FT. HE HARD PUSHED OVER BUT HAD REACHED 20350 FT. (I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CTL.) THIS CAPT HAS DONE THIS GOING UP AND DOWN TO SEVERAL COPLTS ALONG WITH MANY OTHER FLAGRANT OVERSPDS EXCEEDING FAA AND ACFT LIMITATIONS; DSNDING BELOW MDA/DECISION HT ROUTINELY WITH NO ARPT IN SIGHT; PULLING CIRCUIT BREAKER ON SPD WARNING SYS. THIS PERSON IS DEPT MGR AND CHIEF PLT AND MAINT MGR. HE PERFORMS INSPECTIONS AND MAINT ON ACFT THAT WE OWN -- SMT AND SMT X. MAINT IS NOT DONE AND SIGNED OFF AS IF COMPLETED INCLUDING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES AND SB'S AND INSPECTIONS. THIS PERSON HAS CREATED AN ATMOSPHERE OF FEAR BY STATING THAT NO ONE TALKS TO UPPER MGMNT EXCEPT HIM OR WE COULD BE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT JOBS. HE ALSO CREATES A COCKPIT ENVIRONMENT OF CONFUSION BY FLYING DIFFERENT ON EVERY LEG; NOT RESPONDING TO CHKLIST ITEMS. EXAMPLE: CHKLIST CALL = AUTOPLT RESPONSE SHOULD BE CHKED AND SET GA HDG; ETC. HE WILL SAY 'YEAH; WE GOT ONE.' OR HE WILL SAY NOTHING AT ALL. THIS HAPPENS ON NUMEROUS ITEMS. WHEN WE FLY WITH HIM; CONVERSATION IN THE COCKPIT IS NONEXISTENT OR IS ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT RELEVANT ITEMS (EXAMPLE: NUDIST PLACES IN TOWN WE ARE GOING TO). SUMMARY: PLTS HAVE NO WAY TO CHANGE PROCS. PLT HAVE NO WAY TO BE SAFE. UPPER MGMNT HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING ON (IF THEY DON'T HEAR IT DOESN'T EXIST). IF A PLT SPEAKS UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO EFFECT CHANGE HE WILL BE OUT AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PLTS LOOKING FOR WORK AND POSSIBLY NEVER FLY AGAIN. IF HE STAYS HE MAY BE PART OF OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE THAT MAY HAVE PREVENTED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATHS. CAUGHT BTWN ROCK AND HARD PLACE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH REPORTER REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: CALLBACK WAS MADE TO DIRECT RPTR TO FAA HOTLINE. RPTR KNOWS OF HOTLINE AND SOMEONE IN COMPANY USED IT TO RPT MAINT VIOLATIONS. FAA FOLLOW-UP WAS EXTREMELY CURSORY AND RESULTED IN NO CHANGES. IN FACT; RUMORS AND ACCUSATIONS FLEW LIKE CRAZY IN THE COMPANY AND THE PERSON WHO RPTED NO LONGER HAS A JOB. CONSEQUENTLY RPTR FEELS THERE IS NO CHANCE HE OR ANYONE ELSE WILL TRY THE HOTLINE AGAIN. REALLY FEELS CAUGHT.
