One of the very few times I agree with Zebraspots on anything.

If they decide to bring you to CMH for discipline, they definitely won't "lure" you in.

You will be notified, most likely by the union, that you're being brought to CMH for *insert issue here*. You will be advised that the union will provide you representation.

And even before the above plays out, you'll most likely be asked to do a captain's report first on whatever may have happened. That'll be your first clue they're looking at whatever happened you should be worried about. If it's about discipline, or potential discipline, the union will be notified by the company practically from the beginning. And so will you. They don't spring disciplinary meetings in CMH on you like your spouse's surprise birthday party they planned for you.

Why the paranoia? Who knows. We likely have a lot of captains who just don't understand how the system works if you're in trouble.

There may be some negative carryover from the past too. Before our current drug testing system was developed, we used to be brought to CMH for the test. They couldn't tell you in advance that you were coming to CMH for the test, so they'd call you up and tell you to come to CMH because the chief pilot wanted to speak with you. Yes, they really did that!! Now THAT would generate a lot of paranoia! I'll never forget the serious stress and worry I'd experience on my drive to CMH (2 hours from CLE where I used to live), only to arrive and be told that no, he didn't need to see me, but would I mind peeing in this cup while I was there. Our union wasn't like it is now back then. They weren't brought into the discipline loop until much later in the process. So yeah, we always thought we were in trouble when told the chief pilot wanted to talk to us.

But it's not like that now. No reason to fear a trip to CMH. Oh, and I enjoy CMH. Very pleasant city.
