Sure. So you've been talking to pilots, and what have they been telling you?

These haunting images are the first we've seen up close of the twisted metal and shattered debris, all that is left of Germanwings Flight 9525.

The plane mysteriously crashed into the rugged French Alps on Tuesday, killing all 150 souls on board.

Okay, so Jocelyn, surgeons, police officers, firefighters, all these are also people responsible for the safety and well-being of hundreds of people. But they could each theoretically just visit a therapist and keep it to themselves.

Which totally makes sense that they want that. Like, you should be in a healthy state of mind if you're flying a plane. I guess my question is, is this invasive amount of scrutiny from your employer or your boss encouraging a healthy state of mind, or is it encouraging you to pretend that you have a healthy state of mind?

Those are two scary, terrible situations. Do we have any idea if they're outliers? Like, how many pilots are not getting care when they need it?

So that's over half of pilots avoiding care, which is a lot. I mean, that suggests there's a huge resistance to getting care, which means that Finlayson, who's the guy we were talking about, he's unusual for going through the whole process and seeking care.

I have to say, that seems amazing to me, that to go on 10 milligrams or even up to 20, which seems reasonable, that taking that amount of medication long term could cost you years of flying. It just seems like when pilots do decide to pursue mental health care like Finlayson did, they are up against a lot.
