Not mentoring, not being debriefed and sent on their way, but being mocked behind their back and an organied effort to be blackballed from the jump seat at multiple airlines???
Somebody make this make sense to me!
No, there are steps involved before reporting an issue to the company or the feds.
1. Try to resolve the issue on the spot between adults.
2. If that fails, bring in professional standards to discuss, mentor, and hopefully resolve the issue.
3. If the violation is serious enough or if the guilty party still refuses to comply with a reg or company SOP, pro-standards will advise that it is beyond their scope of involvement and advise that an FSAP is filled out.
You don't run straight to the teacher and tattle. I guess I'm just showing my age. If this really happened, I'm appalled.
