I have been doing a slow burn as the story unfolds on the latest air disaster. They say they didn't have access to the co-pilots medical records so they had no idea he was suicidal,on medication and all the rest of the list. Stop me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the prospective pilots and crew have to sign a waiver giving the employer the right to that kind of information?? They would have the right to refuse,but I would hope if they exercised that right they would not be hired to pilot a commercial airline. The flip side of the whole problem is every bit as insane...I'm talking airport security. They either don't have any judgement or are forbidden to use any. One such case happened in Seattle where a five year old boy was detained because his name was the same as an alias on the no fly list,but wait it gets worse! When the child's mother tried to comfort the frightened kid she was warned not to touch him as he was a national security risk,and then they had to frisk the mother to make sure the five year old hadn't passed her anything. Really?
