I wouldn't say that they way you said that.

There are details out there. However, to release them would expose some people in a pretty obvious manner.

If you filed a PDR with your union, and then the next day the pilot gets a call from HR, then you tell me........

Our current system brings in SME's for your particular area of concern. They do a great job in getting the info and responding to the concern. However, your local council reps are copied in on the exchange.

Is it possible that some of our local council reps happen to be "friendly" with the base chief pilot and/or the base's HR rep? Any of those LC reps having one on one discussions about a members PDR, without the express written consent of that member is violating confidentiality. I think the system works great at the "system level." But, once you start adding in additional coooks in the kitchen, there is a risk to information security. I personally would exclude the reps unless the member pilot specifically "checks a box" to allow them access to the PDR and the PDR response. No real benefit to having the reps involved in your own individual PDR. But, it definitely shows you where the leak is, if and when it occurs.
