Podcast appearances and mentions of Troy Merritt

Troy Merritt, a pilot for a major U.S. airline, returned from his 30th birthday trip in Croatia in October 2022 — sailing on a catamaran, eating great food, socializing with friends — and cried. This wasn't back-to-work blues but collapsed-on-the-floor, full-body-shaking misery. When he wasn't crying, he slept.“I've got to find a therapist,” he told himself. And he did, quickly. If that therapist didn't write down “depression,” Merritt would be OK. He could still fly planes, keep his job — as long as he wasn't diagnosed with a mental illness.Merritt, like all pilots, knew that if he was formally diagnosed with a mental-health condition, he might never fly a plane again.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we explore the critical challenges pilots face while suffering from mental health issues and discuss possible individual and organizational solutions.Our guests are United Airlines Pilot, Troy Merritt, and Neurologist and Aircrew Brain Health Researcher, Dr. William "Billy" Hoffman. Troy discusses his personal experience of grounding himself due to mental health issues and explains the pilot mental health paradox. Dr. Hoffman draws on his research and medical experience with mental health in aviation to help us understand the efforts being made by researchers and the broader aviation community to bridge the gap for pilots and the industry as a whole. There is a lot to learn in this episode!Key Takeaways:Pilots have two options; disclose their mental health issues to the FAA and become grounded or keep them secret and continue flying while untreated. Many pilots will face this paradox at some point in their flying career.Troy suffered from anxiety and depression and chose to ground himself in 2022. He found a doctor who prescribed SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) and is already on the application pathway to fly again.Special Issuances are given to pilots who are approved to fly, despite their current health problems.Troy encourages all who are suffering from mental illness to seek treatment. Even talking to a therapist as a "life coach" is a great first step that doesn't alert the FAA.Billy continues to research with pilots and participate in conversations on how to better approach mental health problems in aviation.This paradox isn't limited to mental health. Many pilots also keep physical ailments to themselves or seek treatment without alerting the FAA.The FAA has set up a mental health rules committee to research and possibly change some regulations.Resources:Pilots say they're afraid to seek mental health care. The FAA says it's listening - NPR The Pilot's Pandemic Podcast Pilots hide mental health issues so they don't ‘lose their wings' - Washington Post

The show continues with a best of hour as Brian and Bob look back at interviews with Troy Merritt, Jeff Rude, and Jeff Babineau.

Well, this wasn't the best idea. Andy and Brendan record, or attempt to record, this Friday episode while driving on the wrong side of the road from Belfast out to the countryside. Apologies for any audio issues, rambling discussions, or distractions. But they begin with a few thoughts on their recent time in Northern Ireland and the incident of Andy getting “mugged off” with his final pint pour there. Then, after an evening of watching the Gold Standard, they discuss the obscene maintenance practices at TPC Sawgrass and the bumpers they've built up around so many of its menacing hazards. Then they get to the fabulous leaderboard the championship has after one round, but not without some controversy. They discuss “Dropgate,” Rory McIlroy's drops at the 7th and 18th holes that became another “where it crossed” contretemps. In an otherwise sterling round, Rory is now in the crosshairs for the aggressive push and they ponder how this could all be avoided. Also discussed is the INSANE Johnson Wagner TV segment chucking balls into a pond bank trying to discern whether Rory's ball hit above or below the red line. They close with some pushback on the Cantlay critiques and Troy Merritt trying to put Brendan in a blender.
