FAA safety question re: Mental Health
After reading articles about the GermanWing pilot that was mentally ill and crashed the plane a few years back, I wanted to ask the forum a question.
I have a friend that works for a major regional carrier and he told some of us a few times that he takes bi-polar medication but doesnt want his employer to know. Is that a disqualifying issue? I dont want to have a friend lose his job, but I also dont want to live with the fact that I knew something and did nothing. Any honest advise would be greatly appreciated.
