Good to hear these people got the help they needed , even if road to identifying the correct problem was not ideal . I also had a diagnosis of sleep apnea then diagnosed as deviated septum after further test , surgery corrected it , sleep well now and lost weight . Initial request for sleep test was aviation dr and he supported me through process even finding better surgeon . Depression is interesting one , after German wings it’s been pushed underground and that’s dangerous in my opinion , it can be treated and if it can’t then those people should not be flying . Mental heath might be next big thing the industry needs to face maybe after fatigue ? Substance abuse is another issue , denial being biggest issue . Having proffesional medical people sharing information so big picture is available might be best way to identify these deseases This system may not be right but I think there is a place for something like it .
