We are still lucky that the rules don't seem to have changed that much after the JetBlue (over Amarillo wasn't it?) and the GermanWings incidents.
Certainly drugs whatever the reason are a bright line. Totally get that. I think it's the normal reticence to inject any unnecessary potential risk to the career when the regulatory agency has so much control and you are literally at their mercy. Even the military, with policies in place, has a hard time getting troops into counseling because of the stigma and the fear of prejudice by leadership/peers. As a former Marine I'm sure you can speak to the military mentality more than most. Just no way to know the outcome when you hit "press to test"
