Air Canada Pilot Sick of the Pilot Attendance Program

This airline pilot in Canada refers to their absenteeism program as "inhumane". Click here for Air Canada pilot post.

I guess even the airline pilots in Canada are suffering from the same pilot attendance programs that some US Airlines have. Here is the full post by this airline pilot about his issue with the pilot attendance program. Airline Pilot Attendance.

I guess the Air Canada Pilots call this the CAMS program based on this post. Sounds like this pilot has all the same safety concerns myself and most US airline pilots have.

Can you believe the FAA allows airlines to have these attendance programs in place when most professional airline pilots say they are not safe. These programs cause pilots to fly when fatigued and sick because they confuse the pilots best safe judgment. I guess safety is not #1 on their list. They would rather be doing ramp checks and checking our publications then addressing real safety issues like the airlines attendance policies.

If a poll was to be done among professional airline pilots my guess is that 99% would agree that the pilot attendance policies at the airlines are very unsafe!!!! I can say this because I have been around an airline pilot attendance program for a few years now and every pilot I have been around thought the attendance program was unsafe.
