Better yet, don’t meet up with the dude at the bar BECAUSE he’s on “the list”. I was (properly) taught to not drink with scabs.
Another thing, the cockpit ain’t a confessional. I’d recommend those folks keep it professional and simply show up ready to do the job. If you aren’t ‘fit’, then don’t come to work.

Marriage counseling is not. Any therapy/counseling that leads to a diagnosis is.

I know I’m being judgmental asking this but WHY would you get married in the thick losing both your parents AND having already been divorced less than a year prior? WHY not focus on getting the help you need to heal first, and THEN when stable, consider that 2nd marriage. I’m trying to feel bad for the guy, but at the same time it’s hard to be sympathetic.
Where were his friends and family? Were they urging him to not remarry when his own life was upside down? Or were they derelict in not speaking up and guiding him?
With more than half of marriages going down in flames why do so many still think still something that must be accomplished.
If you were an instructor at TK, would you seriously sign off an initial newhire for the LOE if you felt there was a 50-60% chance they would fail it??
Of course you wouldn’t!
