| May 5, 2016 at 16:05 | comment | added | Richard | @LieRyan - He mentioned flying a helicopter commercially. That, assuming we're sticking with your analogy, would put him in at least the same category as a bus driver. | |
| May 5, 2016 at 14:22 | comment | added | Lie Ryan | @Richard: I don't think OP is taking about flying a commercial airliner, but rather a private/GA aircraft? There's a big difference between having suicidal thoughts while driving/flying a private aircraft/car, and having suicidal thoughts when driving an airliner/bus full of passengers. | |

They offer medical advice and there are a lot of detailed discussions in their member forums (the medical one is moderated by an AME) about depression, meds etc. But ultimately you'll have to see an AME to get advice on your personal situation. | |

| May 3, 2016 at 22:19 | comment | added | Trace | As for the tags, @MikeFoxtrot thanks for the tip, and, yeah, in the U.S. Haven't used SE much before, so I'm still trying to figure things out. | |
| May 3, 2016 at 22:18 | comment | added | Trace | @TylerDurden Yes, but that's making the assumption that anyone with depression is automatically a murderous psychopath. If that were the case, you'd see that kind of news daily. That guy wasn't just depressed, he was mental. | |
| May 3, 2016 at 22:01 | comment | added | Thunderstrike | Hi! Welcome to Aviation.SE. Since you mention AOPA, can we assume that you are interested of the situation in the United States? You can edit the text and add an 'FAA' tag to help narrow down the question :) | |
