If the system is taking advantage of people in HIMS, that's not terribly surprising... it's a group which doesn't generate much natural sympathy from the public, congress, or the media so who's going to go to bat for them?
And this pretty much sums it up perfectly. The system is set up for failure. Being tested >1000 times a year is excessive. Dr’s giving pilots a bad report to keep the pilots in the system. Only $1500 for an annual psych eval…nothing to see there. Female pilots being sexually harassed. HIPAA violations. It’s a helpless place to be.
