Then what is the problem? Keep this crap to yourself unless you think
you've become unsafe to fly. I've said it befo I have two physicians:
my flight guy and my real doctor. The two have never met.


The problem is that the FAA's medical form asks you whether you have ever
been diagnosed with certain conditions (including depression), and it is
perjury to answer falsely. The form does not ask whether you consider the
diagnosis correct or whether you consider the diagnosing physician
competent.
