...Capt.
Field McConnell, a former Northwest pilot with 23,000 hours of naval and commercial aviation experience, who was medically terminated after he refused to fly illegally modified Boeing 737s and is in the process of suing the pilots’ union (McConnell v. ALPA, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia) for allegedly not following its own grievance procedures and not backing him up when the airline attempted to use a non-FAA certified psychiatrist “known...for disqualifying pilots” to evaluate his mental condition.
