The arrogance of psychological evaluations
As pilots we accept: black boxes, CVR, a door to keep the terrorists out, two checks every year, a line check and an annual medical.
On top of this we get bombarded with the principles of CRM where it is accepted that every decision that is made may be challenged by the other crew member.
The result of all this is that pilots "rightfully" develop an attitude to demand the same from those that judge their personality traits.
If those that are about to peal us like an onion are not familiar with our profession we will end up with the good ones being thrown out.
The first one who dares to challenge the decision made by the psch will be considered as a rebel and unfit to do the job. I do not know a single good captain that does not draw a line in the sand when needed.
The decision taken by EASA has put us under the dictatorship of the psychologist and possibly worse that of the psychiatrist. The door is wide open for abuses and there is nothing we can do about it.
And the ONLY reason why this happened is that the doctors that were aware of the condition of the German Wings pilot DID NOT inform the airline.
Just to mention a common problem. Any pilot that gets involved in a divorce will have to explain his marriage complications to a shrink just in order to keep his job!!! Madness!!!
