He is now back flying after a series of psychological assessments deemed him to be ‘normal’......... he still has no idea who made the report or what he supposedly said.
i have first hand knowledge of another QF bloke who had a similar problem. A number of zealots like you lot , including his union, counselling him to defend his rights which he did until the last drop of his blood. Guess what : it was. He lost his career defending his rights with all the principled do-gooders supporting him.
I agree the confidential reporting system stinks but in the end realise what is important: Nate gets his medical back or he ceases to be a pilot whilst defending his rights. The sooner he realises this, the sooner he gets back to flying. The legal road is fraught with danger and the cards are stacked against him.
May his neighbour rot in hell.
