Washington State Senate panel approves bill for paid leave for pilots with mental health issues.
A Washington State Senate panel has approved Senate Bill 5396, which would provide paid family and medical leave benefits to pilots and other airport employees who are medically disqualified due to mental health issues, allowing them to seek treatment without financial hardship.
This follows a 2023 incident where an off-duty pilot attempted to shut off a plane's engines mid-flight.
The bill aims to ensure pilots' mental health and safety, and it now moves to the Senate Ways and Means Committee for further consideration.
