  • Anyone who requests to see your Medical Certificate (e.g., a future employer, the FAA, a Check Airman, etc.) will know you are operating on a Special Issuance Medical Certificate.
  • Bottom line, 'think twice' about participating in HIMS if you are under the age of 40 and/or you anticipate switching employers.

  • one of this airline's 'finest aviators' (aka flight qualified supervisors) known as a 'management pilot,' was put in charge of performing the equivalent of (or something close to) a mental status exam every month on pilots participating in the HIMS program
  • At this airline, one of these REQUIRED monthly meetings between "management" (quotes used due to the fact that most managers at this airline have little to no actual management training) and the HIMS pilot COULD PUT HIS OR HER MEDICAL CERTIFICATE (read: career) AT JEOPARDY.

    Notwithstanding current evidence, the FAA continues to rely on last century's medical model (traditional 12-Step programs, et al.) in outlining protocols for its HIMS program. When will they discontinue practicing "bad medicine?"

  • 'Special Issuance,' may take several YEARS to accomplish. During this time, there is almost always NO salary, the costs associated with it are NOT reimbursed
  • It is, quite literally, the FAA's way, "or the highway." In effect, the pilot is beholden to his/her assigned medical providers (about whom she has no choice) and treatment philosophy.
  • this becomes the pilot's only mode of maintaining sobriety, and the only method about which she can be forthcoming; other modes of maintaining sobriety will elicit suspicion, and delay issuance of the below:
