It was only a matter of time. You hold a valid 1st class medical then technically you are medically (which means physically and psychologically) cleared to fly a 121 airplane. Where SJI stands to lose is the fact that everyone was hired on day 1 with a CJO and then on day 2 they specifically bust the psych portion. I'm not surprised if they settle out of court.

I’m not aware of anything, anywhere, that says a company can’t be MORE restrictive than the FAA.

I don't know about United's psych eval portion. When is that during the interview process? Is this Hogan? Before the interview? Or after receiving a CJO?
Anybody heard anything about this? I've had two friends who failed the pysc screen at Delta in the past few years get calls today about being part of an out of court settlement.

PROMISE?!I'd psychologically restrict you.
There’s an ongoing trial concerning psych evals and unlawful retaliation there too.I’ve had to send an employee to a psychiatric evaluation. The guidance from our HR professional was that I needed to thoroughly document the issues the employee was having and how it was negatively impacting the work environment, as I was required to show that it was a necessary step in order to prevent disruption at work. Granted, that was a current employee and not a prospective one, but I’m betting Delta has some level of exposure here if it goes to trial.

Odd that there is a requirement or a psych eval to be passed in order be hired to fly Delta pax around. Yet the Delta code share regionals that have Delta written on those jets, have pilots flying the same Delta pax around and not requiring a psych eval?
There’s a big difference between documented workplace incidents and “we just think you’re not the right fit for the company.”
There’s actually not. For the same reason that the EEOC will not allow you to use IQ testing in hiring.
Shhhh you’re not supposed to point out any ironies or hypocrisy of the Delta system. But to answer your question, yes.
You oughta be. Though I don’t think anyone wants to know the real results of that...
Quick search online shows no ban of IQ testing?
I really just want to know where I send the cake to.
But in all seriousness, psych evals prior to hire are kind of messed up.
