Yes. According to reports, it will be administered through the individual airline HIMS programs and the pilot will have to demonstrate a calendar year of properly calibrated dosages before he can get a special issueance.

There are a ton of guys out there with serious depression. Look at this industry and what has happened to everyone. You don't think guys are flying around in bad shape?

The program sounds good. I think the parameters may keep a lot of guys away. How do you survive financially and keep insurance for your family?

This will be interesting.
