I can think of at least 4 pilots who I have flown with in the last 10 years who exhibited strong symptoms of clinical depression.
Their aloofness played a part in what I would politely call 'Underperformance'.
I can be certain that if they were in a career that did not ground you when admitting to suffering depression, they would probably have got help. 2 of the 4 I flew with, lost their licences permanently a year or so later after I flew with them.
Mental health is not just a stigma in our industry, it is a noose to our careers.
I applaud the FAA for this move and look forward to a similar move by the UK CAA.
