Bill Seeks to Allow Airlines Access to Cockpit Conversations:

By ANDY PASZTOR

Sen. Jim DeMint, a Republican from South Carolina, plans to introduce a bill that would break a taboo in the airline industry: allowing airlines to use information from cockpit voice recorders in cases against pilots they want to discipline or fire.

Current labor contracts effectively bar major U.S. carriers from relying on information gathered from cockpit-recorders, or, in some cases, flight-data recorders to punish pilots or monitor their performance during trips. But the proposed legislation seeks to overturn those longstanding restrictions in both areas, which is already riling pilot union leaders.

The move also shines a spotlight on privacy and other complex legal questions surrounding the use of such information by airlines to make personnel decisions.

Today, cockpit voice recorder data doesn't become public or lead to actions against pilots unless there is an accident or serious incident investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration or the National Transportation Safety Board. Allowing airlines to use the information for their own personnel decisions would significantly open up an area that currently is considered to be an almost private sanctum for accident investigators.

Called the "Pilot Professionalism Assurance Act," the bill drafted by the Sen. DeMint envisions downloading voice or flight-data recorders "to discipline or discharge a pilot . . . for actions that endanger the safety or well being of passengers." The bill also proposes using previously sacrosanct recordings of cockpit conversations "to evaluate or monitor the judgment or performance of an individual pilot."

Sen. DeMint has not yet formally introduced his legislation and it is unclear what type of support it might find in Congress. The legislation is bound to face stiff resistance from both pilot unions -- and potentially the FAA and the NTSB. One of their principal objections is that the bill could put a chill on the current system of voluntary reporting of safety lapses by pilots. Currently, pilots are encouraged to file anonymous reports on safety problems that arise in the course of duty. Allowing airlines to review cockpit recordings could make pilots more reticent to report shortcomings because they might worry that they would be exposed to disciplinary action from their employer.

However, the bill comes in the wake of several commercial-aircraft accidents and incidents, including the bizarre October flight of a Northwest Airlines jet that lost contact with air-traffic controllers for more than an hour and overflew its destination. The pilots, whose licenses were revoked after the slip-up, told investigators they were engrossed in conversation about revised crew-scheduling procedures and became distracted by turning on and using their personal laptops on the flight deck.

That has created new impetus for stricter pilot oversight measures. There have been two attempts on Capitol Hill in recent weeks to draft legislation supporting installation of video recorders in cockpits. Pilot union officials successfully lobbied and managed to head off those efforts. The Air Line Pilots Association or ALPA, which is the largest pilot union in North America, is gearing up to quietly try to kill the DeMint bill before it is introduced, according to people familiar with the matter.

The escalating controversy focuses on how pilot professionalism conflicts with recent examples of distraction and lax safety standards in the cockpit. Randy Babbitt, the head of the FAA, has spoken out strongly on the need to enhance pilot performance and raise the safety bar by having larger airlines and veteran pilots mentor less experienced pilots at the smaller commuter partners.

But so far, the FAA chief has opposed drastic moves such as stripping cockpit recorders of the confidentiality they have enjoyed for decades. Currently, flight-data recorders are routinely screened for unusual occurrences, but the analysis is done privately inside each airline and the results generally don't become public.

John Prater, president of ALPA, has previously said media pressure shouldn't "lead our industry in a direction that is detrimental to the goal of accident and incident prevention."

Earlier this week. Mr. Prater put out a statement urging Congress to avoid "drafting legislation that simply reacts to events already under investigation." ]]> General Topics CRJDriver http://forums.jetcareers.com/general-topics/98665-bill-seeks-allow-airlines-access-cockpit-conversations.html http://forums.jetcareers.com/pictures-road/98663-road.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:59:54 GMT On the road this year as an aerial survey pilot.

In my late teens, I earned my PPL-ASEL. I renewed my third class medical once in my early twenties and did a bit of flying. Due to time (university studies) and costs, I stopped flying for many years. I'm now 37 and would like to resume flying (adding an instrument rating along the way).

Here's the interesting part. A couple of years ago, my primary care physician referred me to a psychologist about marital problems. I was diagnosed with situational depression and anxiety due to my relationship problems and eventual divorce. Took Prozac daily and Xanax on an as-needed basis for approximately 1 year. Physician weaned me off both medications, and it's now been over a year since I've had to take these medicines. I no longer require or take any psychotropic drugs. During this time, the psychologist saw some other behaviors that led to a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome; this diagnosis was interesting but not discussed much since this was of no concern to me (issues were about social interactions). This doesn't require medication. I have a letter from my physician confirming that I no longer take psychotropic medications (in preparation for my third class medical renewal).

What sorts of hoops should I expect to jump through to renew my medical? How big of a problem is a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, especially since I already have my PPL-ASEL?

I'm a military brat and most of my extended family is in the Army whether it be active or the reserves, enlisted or officer.

I am wondering if my scores are good enough or if there may be any advice at all. I'm trying to go into the Battalion board as prepared as possible. What kind of questions do they ask and how should I project myself? I want to give off confidence, but I don't want to come off as cocky. Is there any tips on this? What color suit should I wear or will it even matter?

He lies, steals, parties relentlessly, refers to himself as Captain, and when we confront him, he acts sorry, wanders off to the owner of the school and claims that we harass and bully him since he is "young, rich, and handsome".

I've tried to be professional, but this guy really hits rock bottom in my opinion and is not cut out to be a pilot. My co-workers agree with me, and we seriously want him out and gone. We've denied him the opportunity to solo, had talks, and told him point blank that we won't ever be signing him off to test for a license; and he brushes us off, declaring that we can't do anything against him. I probably haven't helped the situation when once I actually exploded and declared that if he's a Captain, then I am a Brigade General and the chief flight instructor is General of the Army.

I'm really at wits end, and I don't want to fly with this guy anymore, nor do any of my co-workers. Unfortunately, the owner keeps telling us to fly him since he has been told we won't be letting him move on with training, and he doesn't seem to care.

Not quite sure what to do now except to keep scheduling all my other students and not leave any availability for him since we can't convince him to leave.

(WFLX) - Ever wonder just how clean the air is aboard a commercial jetliner? You may be surprised to learn your favorite airline could be serving up more than just peanuts and soda at 30,000 feet.
For 30 years, Captain John Hoyte had a dream career as an airline pilot. Then, in 2004, an awful moment. He couldn't fly. "I thought I had Alzheimer's. I started to lose my speech. I couldn't relate to other people, had all sorts of other issues -- brain fog, word finding, memory. I thought what was going on? If I fly today I'm going to kill myself, kill passengers, this is not good. I've got to stop. And that was in 2004. I actually walked off the aircraft."
Soon, Hoyte's flying career was over. He was grounded - diagnosed with chronic stress. Then, he was contacted by another grounded pilot, Tristan Lorain, who asked Hoyte to volunteer for a blood test.
The results for Hoyte and 25 other grounded pilots showed the presence of Tricresi lphosphates or TCP.
TCP is used on aircraft as an oil additive to prevent engine wear. It's chemically similar to a pesticide.
Now, every aircraft gets fresh air into the cabin the same way: It's drawn in through the engine and fed through the plane's air conditioning system. Some say the air can be contaminated by leaking oils to form a fine, sometimes toxic, mist. "All the pilots that I've seen are very senior pilots. They're all captains; they've been flying for over 10 years."
In 2006, the United Kingdom Department of Transport commissioned an independent study by Cranfield University to monitor and analyse cabin air aboard Bae 146s, Boeing 757s and Airbus 319s. In all, 100 flights will be monitored. Study results won't be known until next summer.
Five European airlines are allowing inflight monitoring, but no U.S. carriers are participating. So, as a passenger, there are things you can look for.
Professor Clement Furlong at the University of Washington says sometimes you can't see a fume event, but you can often smell it. "So, as far as the passengers are concerned, they'd smell what's been described as a dirty sock smell, a vomit smell, a wet dog smell, and then the symptoms they might experience would be headache, nausea, dizziness, shaking, tingling."
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration says: "The concerns raised by crew members about fume events are reasonable and are being investigated. The FAA believes that the cabin environment in the vast majority of commercial flights is safe."
To push the airlines into using different air supplies, Hoyte started a Web site devoted to Aerotoxic Syndrome, http://www.aerotoxic.org/.
