Big serious question; after all this… Why in the world would you meet up at the bar with the pilot who just spent hours telling you their deepest/darkest personal problems?
Better yet, don’t meet up with the dude at the bar BECAUSE he’s on “the list”. I was (properly) taught to not drink with scabs.
Another thing, the cockpit ain’t a confessional. I’d recommend those folks keep it professional and simply show up ready to do the job. If you aren’t ‘fit’, then don’t come to work.
