According to AvWeb’s NewsWire, the FAA is FINALLY getting the idea that it’s better to have pilots who are on anti-depressants than it is to have depressed pilots who are afraid to seek treatment for fear of losing their medicals.
Let’s hope this doesn’t take as long as most FAA studies.
Would this be the same FAA that decided, after much review of the age 60 rule, that, since there was no evidence to suggest any age at which pilots become dangerous, they’d just keep the rule?
