Addiction in Aviation
Disqualifying conditions include Alcoholism and Substance dependence, However today,with the help of HIMS AME, Diligent/consistent testing and the FAA may be able to help the pilot Sober up and to allow for a SI or waiver if certain strict pyschiatric and neuropsychological criteria are met.

same reason you might object to neurosurgeon operating on your wife or a said person taking your child on a field trip ... humanity! I do think there is increasing gen knowledge by the public of such individuals and that their industries monitor them

I wonder how bad the HIMS program looks on a UAL/DAL app. I fly with a guy who completed the program along with some anger management or something course. Pretty sure he wants to leave the regional life. Wonder if UAL would be willing to take someone like him on? Would they still consider him a risk or does his time spent in HIMS go into a dark file cabinet ?

It is important for the pilot to disclose that he has participated in the HIMS program, and that he will continue to be monitored for as long as the FAA or the airline requires. The key is Transparency, total disclosure.
