An Airline has a duty of care to its passengers.. .. .If, following an accident, it were subsequently proved that pilots between whom a serious difficulty existed, were forced to work with each other against their better judgement, the Company could be held negligible in law.. .. .The trouble is, Companies see it as the thin end of the wedge. If they allow people with serious issues not to fly together, then they fear it will quickly degenerate into everyone just avoiding those with whom they are not 'best buddies'. Another expmple of management not affording us the professional respect that most of us deserve. Anyway, they perceive the risk of a CRM related 'incident' as less damaging than the risk of their rostering system descending into chaos!. .. .Lord 'elp us!
