Mesa. CNN is going crazy right now. Imagine if they knew about their hiring practices.

I'll join the facebiter. Nah, go to NY HQ and be on AC360. Uh, silhouetted of course. On screen, the name Facebiter discusses hiring practices by unnamed regionals.

What level of medical confidentiality would everyone here be comfortable with, particularly concerning psychological issues? From what I have heard, a pilot who took the prudent action of seeking psychological counsel when they have difficulty dealing with some issue in their life, could be facing serious and possibly permanent career problems. Is this something that creates a barrier to those who might otherwise benefit from such counsel?

What are the present rules for airline pilots? Is it limited to general HIPPA confidentiality laws?

If someone is diagnosed with something that might impinge on their ability to work by a private doctor, is there a law that would require the doctor to inform the company flight surgeon? If not, should there be?

Sorry, nobody is going to do your work for you. I will, however, provide expert consultation for $1400 per hour and will reliably answer your questions. A few others here have similar policy. 10 hour increments only, payment in advance.

Congrats you have stooped to regional levels. High and mighty at first, now condescending. What's the matter? Small-man's syndrome? Your woman getting it from better stud service—that you have to resort to bullying the peasants? You're pretty low, boy.

Nicely said and properly billed Cardio:D
Go away CNNer- you going to test amtrak/taxi operators as well? This was an outlier of outliers. The "news" has to start thinking with I/E.:rolleyes:

Sooooooooo, you're going to turn to an anonymous internet forum for a "reliable source", eh??

derp derp derrrrrrrrrrrrrrpty derp derp

Typical media ****stick. "Confidential sources say.....hack hack hack"

You do know the only "people" slithering around below you are terrorists who actually kill innocent people, right? I would cite child molesters as well, but you media scumbags even do that, too.

What part of the phrase "exceedingly rare" or "outlier of outliers" causes you to believe an entire industry should be forced to tapdance to YOUR industry's hysteria and fear-mongering?? Don't bother answering that.

It's a rhetorical question for a media hack who thinks he/she can legitimately troll an anonymous forum for a "reliable source".

Is that the reason we are stuck listening to Richard Quest constantly, the real pilots want to much money? His theories about a possible medical emergency were border line retarded.

No. I am just someone who has had an interest in aviation and am asking a few questions of those who likely to provide the most incisive and knowledgeable answers. But so what if I was?
I share your opinion of the idiotic BS on CNN and I would think that some of the folks here who are equally disgusted with such a font of misinformation might take an opportunity to provide some answers that were actually authoritative.

Then I suggest you go to each individual airline's public relations branch and ask them. Searching on an anonymous message board for your answers is not the best way.
