*just put her my way for an LPC...... *. .. .If you use the SIM to chop pilots for political reasons you completely de-value it as a training tool.. .. .*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.*. .. .Corporate liability could then be placed fair and square on the Fleet Manager who got them to fly together.. .. .*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!*. .. .V.O.L. (value of life) is the most cynical of bad working practice. I did read on PPRUNE that an American company has a bidline system where the Captains roster gets published first allowing the FO's to avoid certain Captains. That one doesn't cost anything.. . . . <small>[ 12 March 2002, 10:19: Message edited by: Wig Wag ]</small>
