On 9 October 2017 the ALPL Divisional Board and the ALPL Flight Safety Committee communicated its full support of the implementation of Pilot Peer-to-Peer Support and Pilot Developments Programs at Cargolux. Both programs are to the benefit of our members and are the next pillars complementing ALPL’s emergency hotline and the support by our IFALPA accredited accident investigators.
In the recent communication from the Human Factors manager, Gunnar Steinhardt, the ALPL has been involved as a stakeholder to move forward on implementing the Pilot Peer-to-Peer Support Program (PSP) at Cargolux.
In this communication there is a two-step process to nominate your potential peers as part of the PSP:
- Firstly, every pilot has the opportunity to agree to be part of a list that every pilot at Cargolux will then use to nominate his/her choice of peers.
- Once this period has been provided, a further email will be sent with a link, where each pilot can cast their nominations.
We ask you to then please access the link in the email that will be provided by Gunnar to nominate your fellow colleagues who you trust to be peers. The aim is to find /provide a peer on the same eye-level (i.e. Captain to Captain and First Officer to First Officer) and if possible (as an optimum) to train peers at Cargolux, who could represent as many of the languages as possible.
ALPL’s first edition of Flightdeck, included some information about peer-to-peer support and critical incident stress management. As always we are available for you to get in touch with us at cvboard@alpl.lu or safety@alpl.lu in case you have any questions or concerns.
