Today's SWAPA Number is 11. That's the number of pilots we've lost to suicide since 2019. And while that's not an easy thing to say out loud, ignoring it won't make the number smaller.

There's a lot to cover when it comes to mental health and wellness and unfortunately there's several stigmas surrounding it.
