Pilots flight attendants mechanics ground crew theyre all just people too and yes they can have addictions. We all seem to hold people in aviation positions to a higher standard of conduct but do not consider that they are just as human as you or I and susceptible to diseases just as you and I are. We still deal with the public perception that chemical dependence is not a disease and therefore insurance coverage for employees leaves little or no funding for recovery efforts. This is the reason Aviation Family Fund was created to offer financial assistance to either begin recovery or supplement expenses that insurance companies will not cover.
