I have a sneaking suspicion that this article is about setting up the public for a "Government response" to a manufactured "problem" - pilots mental health.
Given the alleged behaviour of CASA AVMED in relation to colour blindness and the allegedly ridiculous lengths AVMED will go to in relation to getting second, third and fourth opinions on individual medical conditions, at great expense to the licence holder, what possible chance is there of AVMED taking a reasonable approach to pilots perceived mental health issues?
Could i be forgiven for wondering if CASA AVMED is trying to justify its expansion in the face of reducing demand for its services as evidenced by falling numbers of GA pilots?
