It's also a violation of FAA procedure on seeral levels, and certainly an ethical lase on the part of grand old Delta.
Of course, you worked through an attorney, your union, and a medical consultation service?
I worked through all 3. The attorney wanted to sue Delta and stated it was a Hippa issue. It gets more complex because I had to have the same surgery on my other ear later. Being bilateral blew everyone's mind. In the same day I got a letter removing me from disability because I could hold a class 1 medical and a letter denying my return to work from Delta's doctor. Fun times!
