johns7022,

I strongly suspect that you haven't a single clue about this subject. Read and learn or piss off.

It's serious, very serious when pilots are unwilling to seek treatment and hide depression from everyone until they finally simply lose the plot one day.

BTW, depression does not necessarily make you suicidal, just indifferent to almost everything.

-------
So we have gone from medicated, suicidal pilots, to unmedicated, suicidal pilots that have no sense of responsibility to their passengers, no sense of professional integrity....thus not seeking help...

I guess I am supposed to dredge up some compassion for these pilots, find some 'heart'?

BTW...thanks for clearing that up...I feel much better knowing my captain is 'indifferent to almost everything' and not 'suicidal'.
