If you need a mental health expert then you should not be in the cockpit. I say that as both an expert in mental health and as a pilot.
My UAL pilot brother killed himself rather than seek counseling.

Just a couple of points. The FAA is schizophrenic. No problem with forcing the Vax on pilots and then disregarding related injuries like myocarditis. However, I heard they lowered the heart test requirements to allow pilots to pass. No examination into whether the vax is also causing pilot neurological and mental illnesses. Everything is fine with the aftereffects of the Vax, but past history of PTSD is an automatic disqualifier.
“If you need a mental health expert then you should not be in the cockpit.”
Now all the psychos will get pissed at you for saying that.
You didn’t read the article.
I have a BH waiver and medication waiver from the US Army to fly the AH-64D/E Apache helicopter.
I’m not the only one. We’re not crazy. We’ve just been at this for 20+years, seen and done some stuff, and just need a bit of help.
But I’m glad there’s tough guys like you.
What if a pilot could use such an expert, if only to get through a difficult period in his or her life?
