Crazy pilots are allowed to fly now

Most people on this board probably don't know what an "E-ticket" was, lol. They haven't been used since 1982.

Like the previous poster stated, why would you have the Feds stick a scope up your butt, if the only way they can find out if one is taking an antidepressant is by postmortem examination, and at that point it really doesn't matter.

"...the only way they can find out if one is taking an antidepressant is by postmortem examination."

Actually, that's not the "only" way....I have known a few people who did not report certain medical anomalies and due to a series of circumstances were led down the primrose path to self-incrimination and subsequent disclosure of previously unmentioned items conveniently left off of their medical forms.

To date, none of those situations has worked out well for the persons in question.

Much like Vegas and the Lottery....Ya' gotta' play to win, but the consequences may be disastrous.

Ah yes...The E-Ticket ride.

Please note that my signature line is in quotes. It is not I who coined such a genius like phrase. Rather, it was another member of the FI Intelligentsia whom I chose to quote.

However, I would have to point out, that as long ago as it was....the E-Ticket was the Schnizzle.

actually I should have clearly stated "postmortem and if you divulge it"

Just as long as they don't outlaw Imodium! Every pilot (and truckers) best friend.

I don't think anti-depressants are necessary, especially since they have very harsh side-effects and withdrawal symptoms. What needs to be treated are the underlying causes which create depressive symptoms. These feelings are brought on by incongruence within ones life. They're akin to physical pain felt in your arm which is an alert provided by your body that you require medical attention. No different with depression or any other emotional feeling. It's your body telling you something is not quite right within your social and emotional domains.

Well, that guy sounds like an a-hole. He probably puts everybody at risk every day, all for his own personal well-being.
