Where is your FDM programme run from? Maybe its run from Aberdeen, in which case the same protocols that are used on European pilots would apply to you. Of course there needs to be pilot buy-in to these systems, and consultation and agreements are part of that, but on the other hand, if its a global programme there needs to be 1 global set of protocols, not a different set for each bunch of pilots / local union.
Certainly the OGP / Oil Company requirement for FDM includes the requirement for the system to be confidential and non-punitive.
So it might just be that CHC GO knew it was going to be difficult to get agreement from all corners of the earth and decided to apply the existing protocols that took 2 years to negotiate. Perhaps not ideal but I can see their problem.
You should raise your concerns with Greg Wyght in Vancouver - there is probably an easy answer.
