It does go beyond mental health, nature of the beast.

But when it comes to suicides, the FAA is not actually to blame for that. I would argue that a mentally healthy person would simply find a new line of employment (plenty of folks do) rather than commit suicide.

Especially at a legacy with generous LTD benefits, for that exact reason... if you're young you have a financial off-ramp to transition careers. If you're old and have been there for a while, it's just early retirement on half pay... if you're not already a multi-millionaire by that point you've been doing something wrong.
