HOW ARE AIRLINE PILOTS TESTED FOR MENTAL HEALTH?
The case of the ranting JetBlue Airways captain – who went berserk when his co-pilot locked him out of the cockpit after noticing erratic behavior – got us wondering: how are airline pilots tested for soundness of mind?
Although the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires physicals every year for commercial pilots under 40 and every six months for those older, the FAA does not require psychological checks. The FAA – approved doctors’ order testing only if they think a pilot needs it.
“Whenever you go in for your medical, you’ll have a routine talk with a doctor, and these aviation doctors are trained to pick up on cues. They know how suitable you are for flight,” says Dave Funk, a former Northwest Airlines captain now with Laird & Associates, an aviation security consulting firm.
Long before a pilot sets foot in the cockpit of an airliner, he or she will have been thoroughly tested in body and mind by the carrier, starting with the hiring process.
After that, beyond the annual checkups, there’s a lot of self-policing among the carrier’s pilot corps to notice when troubling events such as death, divorce, alcoholism, or financial problems might affect a colleague’s job performance. “Before 1990, that was not the case,” says Funk. "But things like pilots flying drunk changed all that. We’ve gotten very good working with management and senior management, and the company recognizes that we’re people, not machines.”
In the case of JetBlue captain Clayton Osbon, who snapped in mid-air on an Airbus A-320 on March 27, causing Flight 191 from New York to Las Vegas to be diverted to Amarillo, Texas, “it looked to me like a panic attack,” says Funk. Osbon began shouting about threats from al Qaeda, Iran, Iraq, and bombs abroad; he had to be subdued and strapped down by passengers, while the co-pilot took over and later landed the airliner. JetBlue is as mystified as anyone else about Osbon’s meltdown. “I’ve known the captain personally for a long period of time. There was no indication of this at all in the past. Consummate professional”.
