Well, guess what. That's not the last word on the subject. There is no constitutional right to fly an aircraft, and it won't take a whole lot more incidents like GermanWings to get legislation passed in much the same dogmatic way the 1500 hour rule got passed. There are a fair number of people in the FAA that would like it passed now.

One big incident will get HIPPA amended. Just like your right to avoid self incrimination gets trumped by random and targeted DOT drug testing, it may become a condition of the job.
