[Topic:]Currently pilots are only tested for psychological problems at the
time of hire. [Explanation]That's a big problem, because it's well known
that people's psychological condition can change with time. In addition, flying
planes can be a very stressful job. It doesn't make sense to put pilots under
such stress without recognizing the need to give them psychological tests
periodically. In many other high stress professions, people are required to
undergo regular testing. [Example:] For example, members of the U.S.
military and people who work in high risk jobs in combat zones are given regular
tests and have access to counseling. [Quote:] "We would be in a lot of
trouble," said Mark Saunders, head of the American Testing Association, "if we
didn't do testing of people like CIA officers." [Wrap-up sentence:] If
these other professions require regular testing, then so should
pilots.
