Us therapists have known this for a while. Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers pay privately because they’re in a catch-22 situation. If they get the help they need in an open way then they are suspended or something, so instead they just don’t get help and pretend that it’s all good so that they can keep their jobs. And the aviation industry seems to think there is nothing wrong with this because if you don’t admit to having emotional problems then they don’t exist, right?
