    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:

  • The argument is often advanced that without coercion there is insufficient incentive to enter treatment and, within a medical paradigm, not wanting to enter treatment is considered a symptom of the disease.
  • 12-step recovery model is being used to coerce treatment on those who do not need it

  • I was terminated by my airline in September of 2013.
  • I made the decision to ‘pick the phone up,’ not fly intoxicated, and exchange my intact career for a chance at what was described by HIMS as,”…the right thing to do to salvage your career…,” not knowing then, what I know now, was a decision I would come to regret with increasing frequency.

  • Medical school, or any kind of medical training for that matter, is obviously overrated.
  • 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
  • in aviation knows of, has heard, or likely has experienced first-hand the quarrelsome relationship that has long existed between labor and management.

  • The psychologists also support the use of anti-craving medications like naltrexone, which block the brain’s ability to release endorphins and the high of using the substance.
  • A 2002 study conducted by researchers at the University of New Mexico and published in the journal Addiction showed that motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and naltrexone, which are often used together, are far more effective in stopping or reducing drug and alcohol use than the faith-and-abstinence-based model of A.A. and other “TSF” — for 12-step facilitation — programs.
  • Researchers elsewhere have come up with similar findings. In 2006, the Cochrane Library, a health care research group, reviewed four decades of global alcohol treatment studies and concluded, “No experimental studies unequivocally demonstrated the effectiveness of AA or TSF approaches for reducing alcohol dependence or problems.” Despite that research, A.A.’s 12-step model is by far the dominant approach to addiction in America.

  • lifelong abstinence and adherence to the 12 steps mapped out in the Big Book, published four years after the organization was founded in 1935.
  • relies heavily on faith; God is mentioned in five of the 12 steps.
  • Instead of addict or alcoholic, she prefers the terms favored by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, or the DSM-V, which says that patients suffer from “alcohol use disorder” or “substance abuse disorder,” terms that convey a spectrum of severity.
  • “Substance use takes on a lot of different shapes and sizes,” Dr. Kosanke said. “There are real downsides to labeling a child with a lifetime identity, when that truly may or may not turn out to be the case.”
  • “We don’t have a judgment on how you address your substance use problem. Maybe A.A. is helpful to you and you find everything you need there. If it’s not, we genuinely believe there are many strategies for helping to resolve them.”
  • Stanton Peele, a Brooklyn psychologist who has studied substance use for decades and is a longtime critic of the A.A. model.
  • That approach runs through the book she wrote with Dr. Foote and Dr. Kosanke, “Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Can Help People Change.”
  • “She’s not a problem to be solved, but a child to be loved and guided toward a better life.”
