what's up sunshine welcome to the show
I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 happy Friday
Friday let's finish this week strong
take great energy Good Vibes into the
weekend we begin today with the airline
industry as it's seeing an increasing
amount of employee shortage and burnout
during the pandemic many Aviation
workers were furloughed then as the
pandemic waned and airplanes returned to
the skies Airlines struggled to restaff
quickly enough to match demand this has
caused Staffing shortages schedule
confusion and long days on the job for
some sometimes working more than 14
hours in a day plus according to the US
Federal Aviation Administration there
has been an increase in disruptive
passenger incidents these issues aren't
limited to pilots and flight attention
either even air traffic controllers have
been impacted as their workers union
president recently told Congress they've
been under staffed and overworked all
this stress has led to Growing concerns
over the mental health of aviation
industry workers this issue was put
front and center in the case of Joseph
Emerson an off-duty pilot who was
charged with trying to crash an Alaska
Airlines flight from inside the cockpit
in October Emerson later told police
he'd been battling depression the FAA
has now announced a new committee that
will seek to identify and remove any
remaining barriers that discourage
pilots from reporting and seeking care
for mental health issues like depression
or anxiety the national Transportation
safety board recently had a Roundtable
discussion with Aviation and medical
experts on addressing the topic of
Pilots mental health our Karen Kaaya has
more for us from the
summit I do want to acknowledge that
this can be a difficult topic for some
the national Transportation safety board
leading an expert discussion on pilots
and mental health let me be clear the
safety risk comes from a culture of
Silence around mental
health not about seeking
help Recent research from the University
of North Dakota found more than half of
Pilots avoid seeking health care of some
type fearing they'll lose their FAA
medical certification and their ability
to fly that includes Mental Health
concerns from which experts emphasized
Pilots are not immune they're dealing
with their people too you know they're
dealing with their families they're
dealing with their stresses and now
they're also having to to get people to
where they need to be U during the
holiday season which also can be very
stressful the case of Joseph Emerson an
off-duty pilot indicted Tuesday on 84
counts in an Oregon Court accused of
trying to shut off the engines of a
plane mid-flight in October put the
issue of pilot mental health front and
center Emerson told police he'd been
depressed for months if not years his
defense team said he never never
intended to hurt or put anyone at risk
the government looking to balance
passenger safety with the well-being of
pilots and other Aviation workers it's
not just the right thing to do it's the
safe thing to do what's unsafe is
pretending the status quo is acceptable
on Tuesday the FAA announced a special
committee to explore changes to Pilot
mental health rules aiming to break down
barriers to disclosure and seeking help
