Yep, if your pilot group doesn’t feel strongly enough to fight for it in the contract, to make sure that the union and management have to agree about who performs these exams and negotiates for a process that assures the qualification and impartiality of them, they are exposing their members to whatever process management wants to use.
Conversely, if you do have a pilot whose bubble is significantly off level, it is in everyone’s interest to get that identified and resolved. But the process is only going to be as “fair” as management wants it to be, unless you get it in the contract.
