15.D:

Harvey Watt has the designated Doctor, former head FAA Aeromedical Doc. An administrator calls and tells you to provide ALL medical documents from your doctors for review. EVERYTHING...then they go fishing. When HW was asked what specifically they need or what they are looking for they say "we don't know FedEx has not given anything specific"...

ALPA attorney is real quick to let you know 1) You better not get your own attorney, 2) They advise you just cooperate and not ask the company for anything in writing...we don't like to upset them 3) You get no guidance on what you are required to do vs volunteer.

And don't expect an ALPA rep to attend the meeting with you they will promise you that its not that big a deal, its a formality, just be honest...its a witch hunt, you are already guilty walking into the room. You are expected to explain your PRIVATE medical history...doctors notes mean dick to them. As Tony said...they expect you to be a 'Chatty Kathy' and if you don't then you are being difficult and they get threatening real quick. You are on your own.

ALPA Aeromedical will review your medial history and let you know what to expect but thats about it. Then you sit at home waiting and get NO info from anyone until CRS calls and tells you are assigned a trip out of the blue. Assuming they find nothing.

The funny thing about 15.D is the catch 22...you are called in for being sick and they think you are abusing the system and unprofessional. The company then puts you on NOQ during a 'staffing crisis' because they question if you are fit to fly (I hope you have a good aeromedical guy willing to get in a ****ing match and fight for you). They use the premiss of fit to fly to have a 3rd party Doctor review all of your medial history (send us everything from the last 18 months) to see if your sick calls were legit. So am I not fit to fly or scamming the system...what is it?

You need to stay positive and TRY and look at it as paid vacation and you will prevail. Ultimately you have a few very incompetent managers in this and they are wasting everyones time. But they hope the intimidation factor changes your health.
