The documentary series’ latest installment exposes a “culture of concealment” within the aviation industry regarding airline pilots’ mental health protocols. The issue became front-page news last October when off-duty pilot Joseph Emerson, having consumed psychedelic mushrooms to deal with depression, allegedly tried to shut off the engines of an Alaska Airlines passenger plane mid-flight while sitting in the cockpit jump seat. Lie to Fly explores calls for reform of strict FAA rules that lead pilots to lie about or avoid treatment for mental-health issues at risk of their careers.
