COMPLAINT REGARDING COMPANY POLICY OF 'SCREENING' ON MEDICALS FOR PLTS RETURNING FROM DISABILITY.

Narrative

I AM ENCLOSING ARTICLES ABOUT AN ON-GOING SIT AT XYZ AIRLINES; AND POSSIBLY AT OTHERS; THAT IS A 'SAFETY' ISSUE. THEY ARE USING COCKPIT RESOURCE MGMNT TO HAVE YOUR CREWS SPY ON THEIR FELLOW PLT; AND RPT TO THE CHIEF PLT OR SOMEONE ELSE IN MGMNT. THIS HAS CREATED AN ATMOSPHERE OF TENSION; AND MISTRUST IN THE 'OFFICE.' MANY CAPTS FEEL THAT YOU HAVE TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT OR DR SIGMUND FROG OR YOU WILL BE TURNED IN BY YOUR CREW. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE RESULT OF SOME PLTS BEING TERMINATED: FORCED OUT ON DISABILITY: OR GIVEN TIME OFF. GRIEVANCES ARE FILED AND MONTHS; YRS; WASTED OUT OF A CAREER NOT TO MENTION THE STRESS; ANXIETY; AND TENSION CAUSED IN THE PLTS HOME. COCKPIT RESOURCE MGMNT WAS NEEDED; BUT IT IS BEING ABUSED BY SOME TO CIRCUMNAV THE CONTRACT(S) AND GET RID OF ANYONE WHO THINKS OR HAS AN O2PINION. IT IS 'FUNNY' THAT SO MANY OF THESE CASED ARE SENIOR PLTS WHO HAVE A LARGE PAYCHK AND PENSION COMING!?! SOME SORT OF ARTICLE SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN CALLBACK TO LET EVERYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND THAT IT CAN HAPPEN TO THEM NEXT IF THEY FALL OUT OF DISFAVOR WITH THEIR FELLOW PLTS WHO ARE NOW IN MGMNT! A CREW NEEDS TO BE RELAXED; THEMSELVES; AND WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT!
