U.S. Rep. Sean Casten: Pilots shouldn’t be grounded for seeking mental health care

"Rep. Pete Stauber and I went to work, and our bipartisan bill to fix this issue just passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill — the Mental Health in Aviation Act — would streamline the medical clearance process for aviators seeking mental health care and will address long wait times for aviators by investing in additional aviation medical examiners — the doctors who clear pilots to fly."

Biggest projectile launch ever made, think it could take down a building?
Mental health matters.

We should all be grateful to Rep Casten for bringing his extensive business failure knowledge to Illinois voters. His wisdom is evidenced in his comment about pilots should not be grounded for seeking mental health care. How intuitive.
