As a fellow professional pilot, I'm gobsmacked that you'd think it acceptable for a colleague to be taking anti depressants without a prescription. This new testing has been at the insistence of the GCAA and follows directly on from the German Wings incident. It is not from any internal 'recent event' so the conspiracy theory can be put to bed. The FCI was quite specific about what is being tested. Do you actually condone taking these drugs without knowledge of your AME? Your post implies you do.
I'd hardly describe your posts as balanced but that third paragraph is beyond belief.
