RE: (no subject)

Our company has an unwritten policy that doesn't allow family members to fly on the same aircraft together due to the fact that if there were a crash (god forbid), there would be 2 losses in the same family instead of one and if there were children involved........imagine the tragedy. My husband and I both are flight nurses for the same company and due to scheduling issues our crews may fly nurse/nurse occasionally. However, we do not work together on the same aircraft. We, along with management, both agree that it is definantly in our best interest not to fly together nor sign narcotics together. Most of these "guidelines" have been initiated by my husband and I due to the fact that it is not a common situation and we want to protect ourselves. You could see how a jury, or even a supervisor,  could look at a husband/wife team who had a bad outcome with a patient and wonder if there were any issues that were not revealed because they were trying to protect each other. I can't say that I wouldn't think the same way in the their shoes. As I said before, this is not a written policy for our company, but I would definantly recommend that you not fly together for liability reasons. Fly safely!
