    Unfortunately I have bad news for you A lot of the time these countries are worse when it comes to Mental Health in the FAA.

    I try to get a simple recreational pilot license that they got very upset with my history of anxiety. I’d have to get reevaluated every 6 months by a state psychologist on my own dime continue to fly.

    Still there there’s not any evidence indicating any sort of mental health history. Like the pilot of MH370 supposedly lost all of his money and a bunch of bad trades. Not only that they found the exact flight the plane seems to have taken on the dude’s personal simulator.

    Before we judge this to be a suicide let’s at least wait to hear about the Pilot’s personal lives and what conditions they were in.

    I do get where so many people are coming from in this but it is so disrespectful to the pilots and their families to just immediately assume that this is a suicide when there’s not even good speculative evidence for it

      I am also declining to speculate - just hoping to add some context about mental health and the FAA.

        Oh it’s never a bad thing to have context.

        I do appreciate the additional info friend
