This was sent to me earlier, it says a lot about what many of us have feared for many years.
Coincidentally, I'm going to the CAA for a psychiatric assessment this week as part of my initial Class 1. The hoops you have to jump through are endless and very expensive. They treat absolutely everyone who's had a mental illness as a potential Andreas Lubitz.
If I had my medical and then got depression, I'd be very reluctant to get any treatment at all, knowing that the CAA would seemingly do their best to keep me out of the flight deck!
Is this just a UK thing? Are things different with the FAA?
