  • 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.

  • 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.

  • '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:

  • “Pharmacotherapies for AUD are highly underutilized. Only 8 percent of adults with AUD are currently being treated for the illness” with these medications, said Steven Batki, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, who pointed out that there is no universal treatment that is as effective in all patients with AUD.
  • Though there are multiple pharmacotherapy options available to treat substance use disorders, some addiction experts maintain that these medications are often underutilized
  • these disorders are too seldom treated with pharmacotherapies approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some addiction experts maintain.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.”
