Why is there no MOA with the Union?
Is the data de-identified like LOSA data?
Why reinvent the wheel, just contract another LOSA?
Is this a "cost savings" issue to substitute for LOSA?

i'm not familiar with the FedEx QA. Some questions to better understand what your talking about.

I'm out on sick leave so I don't have the front seat to observe this program like most of the others on this web board but ...
The Obama Administration has their Scandal of the Month, FedEx Management seems to have their "Harassment of the Month." If you've followed this board for several months you probably noticed the sick leave harassment, Hong Kong pilot LOA harassment, next month they'll find something else to help distract from Contract Negotiations.
I'm surprised we keep falling for it. There must be something we can do to stop it?

They fall under the classification of any other pilot that is asking to ride in the jumpseat; Captain's discretion. That part really isn't hard to grasp and was made pretty clear to me at recurrent.

Very hard to find out concrete data about the program. I called Safety - they had no idea. Called my ACP - he directed me to the PAC which had no idea of the program. Just had recurrent and there was no mention of it anywhere - the ground school instructor didn't know about it and was quite sure we weren't getting any sort of brief on it (we didn't). Can't find any mention in the FOM about it. Except for a few advertisements for positions from the Company and the complaint from the Union how can one find hard information about the program? How does anyone know what the purpose is or how the data will be used? I PM'd 3point a long time ago and he never got back so I'm guessing there really isn't anything in writing available for the crew force on the program. ??

I think there's a lot of misinformation being communicated on this thread.
I had a QA fella on a flight four weeks ago. He wasn't management, nor did he speak highly of anyone in management. He slept through 98% of the flight. He was on the airplane to see a taxi obstruction/situation that resulted in a POR and how the problem could be solved.
I'm sure this post is going to go over like a ***** in church.

I had CMV1 a few months ago and the QA folks were there to give a 30 minute brief on who and what they do. This occured on the same day as the Global War On Error crap, or the new program that replaced GWOE. I know they've been doing the brief for quite some time to educate the crew force. The QA program came from Qantas.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I think generally the program has good goals. However there needs to be protections so that at any point in the future it can't be abused. Also, I think the crew members should be provided any copies of any reports generated.
