Problem that AvMed has now is the more they ask questions of the mental state of the general pilot body the more they will find the truth that over half pilots flying will be diagnosed with what in todays terms would require them specialist attention. How many pilots post Covid can say that they havn't had anxieties or possible depression during the lockdowns. That then requires AvMed to request specialist assurances from all affected pilots as well as vetting those responses for further issues. At what point do they just adjust the regulations and allow a GP or DAME to just assess your fitness on presentation.
As opposed to what was suggested to tell AvMed nothing, the opposite would be the end of AvMed, if every pilot flying told the complete truth about their thoughts and mental state. Throw in every chest pain and head ache you've had in the last 20 years, lost moments during a few drinks in 1982, grandfather was a serial killer with severe cardiovascular disease and suicidal tendencies.. etc. They would have to ground about 2/3rd of all flying pilots. Instead of playing the question game and answering what you think is right.
Assuming ADHD and its like has been around for a while now, there has to be many pilots flying with the condition, possibly undiagnosed and untreated. I mean I've seen Chief pilots asking where they left an Aircraft, is that like losing ones toys?
I think the truth of the matter is that the current delays in processing may just be that pilots are being more honest than ever about health issues and AvMed is having a minor cardiac event trying to deal with it.
