Chris Finlayson in Podcasts

And once Finlayson sort of let go of the possibility of that faster path back to his job, the fast path to that medical certificate, his health improved.

For most people in a similar situation, having stress, anxiety, even panic attacks, it would lead them to some behavioral therapy or medication. And then ideally, you just get back to a stable, typical, healthy life. But Chris Finlayson is a pilot. And for pilots, there's a different calculation.

Yeah. I recently interviewed quite a number of pilots, and one of them has really got me thinking differently about flight safety. His name is Chris Finlayson. He's been a pilot for 13 years. He's married, he has two young daughters, and he's a first officer with one of the major airlines in the U.S., It's a job that comes with a lot of responsibility. You know, a few flights every day.
