Talk about bovine excrement.
Okay, a drone pilot tells his supervisor, "Hey, watching that guy writhe around on the ground today until he finally died really bothered me. I'm going to go see a shrink tomorrow to talk about it."
Even in a high tempo unit, every supervisor in the Air Force is going to say, "Do what you need to do. We need you healthy and ready to roll, so go get the help you need. Let me know what the docs say the next steps are."
In the very worst case, the drone pilot might be transferred to some other career field, not have the food taken from his table. If they cannot reclassify the guy, then he has a service-connected disability and is medically retired from the service, (with a possible re-eval in four years to see if subsequent treatment has returned the airman to a state healthy enough to serve again, and if not, medical retirement is made permanent, which means the guy gets a service retirement pension for life based on the degree of his disability and years of service
Once again, you just do not know what you are talking about.
To the other readers, I'm sorry this thread has been hijacked. I'm willing to drop it here.
