E. Critical Items 1 2 1. A pilot will be furnished with copies of all items placed in their file pertaining to them that may be of a critical nature. They will be given the opportunity to acknowledge receipt and to make a responsive statement. Such responsive statement will be placed in the pilot's personnel file. A pilot may also file a grievance challenging any such item in their file. Items within their file that a pilot is not given an opportunity to acknowledge may not be used against them in an investigation or discipline/discharge case.
There are two files, chief. The personnel file and the unofficial "secret squirrel" file that gets updated every time a pilot interacts with the CPO. It's like pulling teeth to get a look at that file.
