Can I spend 4 days with this guy...?
That is EXACTLY what the psych eval is about.
Are you tolerable, are you a "Normal Person" or do you have issues?
It's not about qualifications, any moron can fly an airplane and a lot of them do. The Shrink is there to keep the real problem children out, and he's doing a great job. In 28 years, I can honestly say, there was only one guy I've flown with who had issues...but he might have been going through a divorce, so I bought his beer and let it go. 99.9% of the guys I fly with are great guys to fly with, hang out with, etc. So, what ever the shrink is doing, he's doing it well.
