examination system to prevent from flying people with mental problems".
Good idea, but it's not enough.
The authorities & airline managements must have full access to a pilots,
* financial situation, (mortgage, debts, gambling history)
* marital situation, (married, divorced, separated, dependants)
* personal health history and that of all family members
* lifestyle choices, (gay, cross dresser, transgender, hellfire club membership)
* traffic violations
It's our employers right to know everything about their workers to determine their fitness to fly'
A persons sexuality or gender is nothing to do with their ability to fly.
I have known homosexual and lesbian pilots and at least one, extremely capable, transgender pilot.
It is nothing to do with a persons employer and there are strong laws in place to prevent such discrimination.
That you call these things 'lifestyle choices' perhaps says more about you and your own prejudices.
