Crazy pilots? Nothing new in that item from my experience. Medicated, maybe. But crazy? Been there, done that as they say.

Think this is a better option then those unwilling to get help and fly other wise!

Exactly. I know too many gummers who show numerous signs of clinical depression, but refuse to admit it and get help. If the pills work, so be it.

How is depression equal to being crazy?

The policy change... was sparked by ... a need to "change the culture and remove the stigma" associated with the illness, said FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt."

DUH... Don't ya' know if'n you gots to take da pillz for yer head den you gotsa be crazy!


But, if you take cholesterol medication ( to correct another form of imbalance ) then you are just a regular "normal" person.

Ignorance is not bliss.

Just as a matter of record.... truly "Crazy" pilots have been flying for years....The Eastern Woodchipper, the FedEx Spearfisher, etc.

And, just look at how many "doosh-bags" occupy cockpits.

Now, there's a real threat to safety... that can't be corrected with medication.
