Airline pilots anonymously report suicidal thoughts, study finds
Hundreds of pilots who are currently flying commercial planes may be clinically depressed, according to research published in the journal Environmental Health on Wednesday. Worse still, many pilots with symptoms of depression may not seek treatment due to fears of negative career consequences, such as being grounded, said researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. (www.cnn.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The pilots are probably happy enough on takeoff and climb and even through cruise. It is the thought of having to descend and rejoin the rest of the world that is depressing.
The brain is a creature of its own. Going from sea level to 6,000-8,000' cabin pressures is probably like an instant on drug. Their brains get left with the symptoms and wonder due to sudden approaches to hypoxic probably. Maybe if their brains had more than monitoring, well hopefully monitoring autopilots and other readings like manual control at altitude, then they would feel like they have a purpose in life.

So, when you are flying, you are thinking homicidal thoughts about being down-voted on a FA Squawk? It seems there are more in the group 'pathetic' than down-voters.
I recall an incident back in the 70's where TWA was screening chosen pilot applicants with all sorts of tests inclusive of an intense physical with a psychological evaluation. One successful candidate however, later committed suicide during training, after failing his initial simulator check ride.
Ha Ha
What a finding !
And how reassuring for the unsuspecting non aviators on the a/c being flown by such 'afflicted' aviators.
Is the finding laudatory or mind boggling ( or wobbling ) ?
I wonder !
