Pilots fighting back after losing jobs??
 
Anyone see this article...

Pilots are fighting back after losing jobs for dubious reasons | Barbara Hollingsworth | Op Eds | San Francisco Examiner

Curiously, all of the pilots say the union did not fight for them or intervene in any way on their behalf when they lost their jobs. And the federal aviation regulatory agency did not launch an investigation into why experienced pilots were being forced out of the cockpit soon after filing federally mandated safety reports.

This pattern of medical groundings should be of grave concern to the flying public. So should the regulatory agency’s lack of interest in finding out why. After all, the FAA’s job is to ground aircraft that do not meet federal flight standards while protecting those who warn that standards are being ignored.


Wow, just another nail in the coffin for ALPA. GO DPA !!!!

There MIGHT be a little more to these stories. Fortunately, ALPA does more research than you do. Do a little research about Mr. McConnell, then come back here and tell us you'd sit comfortably in the back of his aircraft.

Perhaps DPA should use McConnell's image and claims as their logo and mission statement.

Wow! Pretty scary that ALPA decides who they want to defend. I thought ALPA's job was to defend ALL their members. Guess I was wrong.

Wow, so there are doctors out there in the back pockets of some airlines willing to ground a guy for life? Surprised they aren't afraid for their own personal safety after criminally destroying a guys life and family.
