    Imagine 1500 hours of training just to do this and throw it all way. You were flying for DELTA. It’s the best major to fly for

      Mental health issues don’t discriminate and we don’t do nearly enough to destigmatize looking for help. It’s the only explanation that makes any sense.

        Not to mention…they look for help from the wrong person they get fired. They look for help from the other wrong people and at best it’s ineffective.

        I get that they don’t discriminate, but that’s what your AME is for. The FAA is really, really bad about mental health but you can get it done. I’ve never had to get or renew a class 1 medical, but AMEs do try to work with you. It might be two years of paperwork, but they will help you get it done.
