DRUDGE article citing depression is a timeline report with additional info inserts, by The Guardian, I think, is the source, or UK paper.
It quotes a mom of a friend and a tweet by another friend who say he was depressed, the tweet says he took SIX MONTHS off in 2009, from flight training because he was depressed.
There is talk that naturally airlines are very on edge about depression and pilots may not fly when they report it or are under treatment for it, therefore, pilots are reluctant to report it, or maybe deal with treating it.
2009 was six years ago. Supposedly they reexamined him before he was admitted into the program again, and there hasn’t been a problem since then. Except for the fact that he had very few flying hours, and seems to have spent a fair amount of time in the US studying for a certificate here (which he received).
