Absolutely unacceptable that we've allowed ourselves to be pushed around like this. We've essentially waived our HIPAA rights.
The pilot does not have to access release. That's the key. IOW, it's his or hers decision to have there medical info released...just like for any family member to have access to your med info etc. By law company can't do a thing, unless there is some court order etc....
