From management towards pilots. Whether it was earned or not, it is not the best course of action to do this to the pilots. It will backfire in the longrun. 

 

If it was earned, real case-by-case management work needs to be done to rectify problems. They are taking the easy way out and acting with short sighted corrections to the masses.

Agreed, what is this thing? Only thing I can think of is to hold a preflight checklist on your person doing the preflight because someone skipped something a on preflight and caused an issue.  At MTC they had us put a checklist on the handle of the heliporter because so many people kept messing it up.

 said it was from several issues resulting from lack of proper preflight so a way to advise folks to leave pilot alone to do a thorough preflight.  People will do what people do so tbd if it works out but a way to avoid interruption.

Seriously? The armband is to alert people to leave the pilot alone to concentrate on his pre-flight tasks?

Are the medi-cools so dumb as not to see a pilot with open cowls or standing on a ladder means ‘pre-flight’?

This is NOT something Metro has handed down from the Head Shed. Quit trying to spread lies!
A previous commenter stated that the "ASM said ..." Which means it came from the program, NOT Metro HQ. Sounds to me like the OP's ASM didn't have the balls to stand up to the hospital making such a ridiculous policy and the hospital is fully in control of that program. That ridiculousness would never fly at the program I work for.

If the hospital told you to wear an armband, metro would say suck it up buttercups

Nope, didn't come from the hospital.  It came from advisory after a regional meeting.  Maybe an idea, maybe something to be put out later?  Should be on the pilot as well to not allow interruptions, not just med crews.

I will refuse.  drop it in the mud, wipe my bung hole with it, sneeze on it and make it disgusting so it becomes unusable.  Just no.

Is the vendor also the air carrier? Also, is the vendor the one with operational control?

It's got nothing to do with pilots doing something wrong. It's to let everyone else know to leave them alone so they can focus. Hasn't been rolled out yet.
