so the FAA Class 2 Medical is the restriction, limitation, and liability. With the obvious exceptions of war, and disabling yourself on purpose.

- Restrictions: These are what someone is physically unable to do on a sustained basis.
- Limitations: These are what someone is limited in doing, even if they can perform the activity for a short amount of time.
- Disability: It encompasses impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions.

How about holding on to your driver's license? Collecting SS. Moving on with a normal life.

We can get any job (at another company) we want that does not require a class 2 medical and there is no offset.
we have to be under the care of a doctor, proving we can’t hold a medical and need to submit proof no more often than six months.
always make sure you have a disability policy that says you are disabled if you can’t do “your job”. Ones that say you are only disabled if you can’t work at all suck.

I believe I just told you. The restrictions are the requirements of the FAA medical. There are lots of conditions that you can lose your medical but still drive, work and collect SS.

SSRI therapy for depression as approved under special issuance meds come attached to hims oversight. Treatment for unstable behavior resting in the hands of assessment specialists. Opinions vary. Brave leap with no going back to Kansas.

CBreezy is right about him being able to get his ratings back.
IMHO.
Plenty of HIMS pilots flying today.
Plenty of them flew under the influence before they checked in and got healthy.
Over the years, I've flown with far more pilots who were majorly distracted with divorce, cheating spouses (often clinically crazy), kids who are misbehaving in borderline criminal ways than those who may or may not be under the influence.
They really had no business being in the cockpit. But it was their refuge; where else were they going to go?

A man who is afraid to seek medical help for fear that he is not medically qualified, is unafraid to take illegal drugs and then fly while under the influence; commits a crime and puts lives in jeopardy, and finds it unfair that he couldn't risk his medical to come clean. He couldn't afford to risk his mortgage, but could afford illegal drugs, and yet it's the fault of the FAA.
What truly dizzying, ironic, pseudo-intellictual, self-serving bull ****. How stupid must one be to sympathize?
Don't answer: it's rhetorical. And obvious.

if he was at any other airline and went out on a mental disability his benefits would have been limited to 52 weeks. Not age 65.
