Hello again, fellas.
I have a question about a friend. I'm sure there are others out there who have had friends in this situation, and I would like to hear what he/she did, or advice you might have for that friend. No first-hand experience please, if you know what I'm saying.
So I have this friend who went through a rough patch a few years back. Lost a friend and such. He's done alright over the past few years, but maybe he didn't deal with it like he should have and now he gets down-in-the-dumps sometimes. There are good days, but there are bad days. It's nothing serious, just days where he wants to cry, feels blue, etc. Recently, it's been tough, though. Don't know why, it just has. He's been flying for the past few years without a problem, but he's thinking that he should go talk to someone about being sad.
Unfortunately, he can't do that. He's got the FAA and company looming large and just waiting to drop the hammer as soon as the "D"-word is spoken. It's not even that, though. Maybe he just needs to talk to someone. Maybe he just needs a break. How do you approach the subject? It is something someone needs to keep off the ol' medical history if he wants to stay in the industry, you know? But he's sad a lot.
Any advice?
