15 Months ago my Father in law was killed in a plane crash. He was flying a Cessna 140. He was a capt for AA, had around 25,000hrs.
My husband is a career pilot as well. He has taken this extremely hard. He has a hard time working now, especially in weather (which is what brought down his dads plane).
He now has a love/hate with flying. Due to financial responsibilities he must keep flying considering he has no training whatsoever in any other field. Not easy to switch careers...
What Im looking for is advice, anything that could be of help for my husband.
Does anyone know of support groups, should I suggest counseling to him? It just seems to me that it makes it ALL that much harder considering that the same thing he has loved since he was a little boy, his career, is the same thing that killed his father.....
Thanks in advance for any help

Most companies have EAP programs. That would probably bea good place to start.
