I'd like to hear from all of you on swell who travel a business or for pleasure, who might be experiencing your own form of stress and anxiety, if it's related to knowing the stresses of today's pilots as well as today's pilot shortages, which we're also experiencing. So, do you worry? If so, share with me. Let me know what you think, and let me know if you have an idea for a solution yourself

And I'm just wondering, what is the intake process that on a quarterly or monthly basis where they're actually asked the right questions to see if they're not in trauma and they don't even know it? There's a physical trauma, I think also of just the sitting and the pressure and the schedule and the weird sleep hours. But do they have time to go into regular checkups with a therapist to do the vetting?

Hey, Deborah. Ericarrett. This is the first chance I've had to have the time to actually respond to your questions. So I wanted to take a couple of minutes and provide answers to your questions. I talked with a friend of mine who is a right seater on an Airbus A 324 JetBlue Airlines. He and I served in the Air Force together. So I looked up some information online to check statistics and things like that. So I'm going to share this information with you

And I know scheduling is so important so that people don't ever be put in back to back flights that are too long. But I'm glad to hear that theoretically, reporting mental health issues is not going to be detrimental to your record. But it is disturbing that a pilot can go for years and be expected to self report about mental health given the responsibility that's on their shoulders. I would love to see a better screening that happens quarterly because the world is more stressful now
