SOAR Committee Mental Health Awareness Month Part 1

In this episode of The Flight Deck, we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month with a conversation featuring the SOAR Committee—the United MEC’s confidential peer support program for pilots. Committee leaders and volunteers discuss how SOAR helps pilots navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life challenges, and mental fitness for duty while keeping the focus on getting pilots healthy and back to the flight deck. They share personal stories, explain what happens when a pilot calls the hotline, and remind listeners that reaching out for help is a sign of strength. If something feels off, you are not alone, and support is only one call away.
