For me, the "irony" was that as a newer HAA pilot, I tried everything I could think of to open dialogue between our medical crew, me, and the rest of the pilots to no avail. I tried revamping the base safety program, teaching short classes on weather issues like fog formation, thunderstorms, what LTL is and isn't, some CRM concepts and discussions on how we might implement them. It took me about six months to get it through my thick, stupid skull that if our medcrew didn't want to fly that day, it didn't matter how much base education, training, open discussion or whatever I facilitated. If they would rather stay in the recliner and watch their soaps or a ballgame, it wouldn't matter if the weather was way above mins, forecasted to stay that way, and giving every positive trend and indication. They were determined not to fly, and it wasn't my job to convince them otherwise. Any further discussion wasn'tmy job and could be interpreted as me pressuring them to fly. And that's fine. I'm not bitter about it. It was actually a fairly decent job. But I am happy to be on to something better. I guess the point of my rambling, OP, is that there is a reason for the negative stereotype of medical crew that you see on this forum. And as you said,there are idiots on both sides, and most of the time, those idiots, whether pilot or medcrew, aren't interested in an honest discussion.
