Yes, and heeding the restrictions that come with professional obligations. It's not company restrictions you have to fear. If the profession doesn't self regulate, the force and police power of government will be further tightened (mostly for the benefit of government itself) and
NO ONE will like that. I watched government arrive at the current "solution" to this issue. Don't give them another reason to get involved.
Government already considers airline pilots chattel property. Don't feed the beast.
You don't want to be subjected to the monitoring system that's been described in Japan. Testing for cause ? Certainly. Testing everyone ...all the time ? Nope...
