- CBS News Colorado investigative reporter Kati Weis continues to dig deep into the conversations surrounding the FAA's mental health policies and why pilots are speaking out in an effort for immediate change.
FAA won’t let someone with ADHD fly if they are properly medicated.
But they WILL let someone with ADHD fly if they are unmedicated.
Totally makes sense.
Makes perfect sense..... Lay off the meds.
Either one is a liability.
@@lds251adhd is no more dangerous then your 55 year old captain who smokes a pack of cigarettes every day
Wow 😮 Hahaa #truelies 🤷🏾♂️
@@lds251do you even know what adhd is? Because it seems to me that you don’t.
Great report Kati. This story is Absolutely 100% on point and accurate. (except the FAA's response)
No pilot will trust the FAA's response.
The veteran put his life on the line for the country. Thank
You
When are we going to get regulations for Presidents?
Are you trying to bring logic into the conversation????
They are trying! That’s what these court stuff is against Trump so he hopefully doesn’t run again. *fingers crossed*
Pilots are told not to even report UAP UFO sightings imagine how traumatizing that is
This is absolutely discrimination as is their ADHD policy.
The FAA's ridiculous regulations on stupid things like this is the reason why the industry is going negative right now.
FAA doesn’t deserve their authority
The pilot trying to liberate people from their unnecessary confinement while attempting to go home from an employee parking lot is the crazy one?! Let that sink in…
These meds keep
You stable
And clear minded. Oh wait yu allow alcohol!
If you are seeking counseling for anything that DOES NOT come with a diagnosis or medication, you DO NOT have to report it on your First Class Medical application. That is the most restrictive class medical certification you can apply for. CFR 67.107. Someone in aviation law should know this.
yea but most disqualifications are from medications. If you are prescribed anything you have been diagnosed.
If uoure treated by a therapist for anxity depresdionn ocd phobia you have a diagnosis.
If you're under secondary services you are severly mentally ill.
Maybe you've got bipolar, schrioponia, school affective disorder , severe paronia, snd history of many sucide attempts.
I've got BPD, GAD, cyclotheric depresdion ,mild psychosis, paronia, constant severe sucidal ideation .
I wouldn't get a drivers license let alone even fly alone as a passenger id have to hsve someone accompanying me as technically if I was behaving odd and staff were concerned they could remove you from the flight tied in with massive insurance costs no thanks I will stick with terra firmer
Wanna hear something even crazier?? For a person to be able to fly an over 55 lb agriculture spray drone while sitting on the tailgate of their truck, they would need an FAA flight physical. Go figure!!
Look at the mental HEALTH issues of RAILROAD ENGINEERS
😢
FAA Double Speak. If you must see an FAA approved specialist, regardless whether their fees are normal, they’re still outrageous - They’re Specialists…and if they perform any tests, raise their bill to an EXPONENT and of course, they don’t accept insurance.
Lobbyists protecting the status quo $
😳
Leave it to the FAA to bring the book 1984 to life
Mental health treatment has not progressed to the point that individuals with previous diagnosed andproven mental health issues. Imagine the anxieties passengers will have knowing air pilots with mental health issues are PIC. Unreal the entitlement attitudes of our culture.
Uhhg....typo: Mental health treatment is not advanced enough to say yay or nay in regards to PIC. Noone should be in command of passengers with current or previous identified mental health breakdowns.
Need Pilots? You can begin by starting with only trusting companies with robust and funded currency commitments. Having Better starting and longevity pay would be a bit more essential. Ya know?
They wouldn't know a pilot with anxity was flying their plane uts not broadcast
If domeone had executive brain function issues that eould drginstly dhiw up in flight if co pilot had stepped in thed have no choice but to get powers that be in
@teglaprbambaluftlaurvafhen5449 anxity wouldn't come under term brezkfown you'd have to have severe depression suicidal indications paronia psychosis then yes you're in crisis breakdown
Jab mandates are the reason for the pilot shortage just like they caused doctor, nurse, truck driver, etc. shortages.
Haha, lay off the crack.
No mental health issues in the cockpit please and instead of budget killing questionable "business trips" how about more tele-conferencing we should be living like the Jetsons starting 25 years ago with the tech we have
Keep taking ur meds
@@claudiacyrankowski1162you want a mentally ill pilot in the sky huh?
No thanks. I can't think of anything scarier than a pilot 30 thousand feet up with depression.
@@drakecarter1780 Stigmatizing and punishing it harshly will only make those suffering hide it.
@@Caboose4859 passengers safety is at risk. That is first and foremost.
@drakecarter1780 yes but you wouldn't know pilit had depression we don't always look depressed we've no label on saying depressed
That's why mental ill ess are classed as hidden disabilities
The pilot community is saturated with arrogant Aholes. The job of getting ratings and maintaining proficiency is challenging enough. Most people develop mental health issues just with the politics alone.
I found that many pilots can’t look past someone with social issues even if they are an expert in their field. There is way too much biases in this field.
chemtrails kill.
Don’t hire Ex-Military pilots they have more of a large percentage with mental health. Than a non-military pilot’s do.
I wouldn't trust a pilot with mental health issues. Not sorry.
So you wouldn’t get on a plane with a pilot that has social anxiety?
Lmao what’s a mental issue bozo
There is a 100% chance you've flown on an aircraft piloted by somebody with "mental health issues".
We aren't talking about people who are hearing voices. We're talking about normal, boring humans with normal problems. The only difference is that pilots have to eschew sane treatments.
So, would you prefer your pilot ignore their health issues, or get treatment like a sane person? Because that's what this discussion is really about.
yea so they just lie about it and cover it up without getting help. So then you get an MH370 scenario. Real genius solution there.
What about if you discovered the surgeon who just saved your life had moderate depression, or an ICU staff,or the paramedic who fetched you to hospital and helped you come back from brink after a cardaric arrest
