Denied, sorry.
It would stiffle honesty as FO's would be afraid of offending CAs, Regional pilots would be afraid they'd get blacklisted, and every airline would have a manager pulling "APC Monitoring Duty" 24/7. Any airline, including unionized ones, can instantly fire anyone for a perceived public slight of the company (unless it's specifically protected labor organizing speech).
