Pilots for HIMS Reform (P4HR) initiative needs you. On November 5, 2025 we requested information from pilots in the HIMS program. At that time the founders of the HIMS Reform Initiative requested information to be emailed, now they have a survey. An easier and more official way to track data and they need your help sharing the survey.
HIMS Voices Project’s confidential, research-grade survey is designed to capture the real-world structure, impact, and fairness of HIMS and related aeromedical processes. It is intentionally detailed. Most questions are optional so you can skip anything you are not comfortable answering. But they need more. And this is confidential.
With nearly 55 submissions collected, they are beginning to see clear, consistent trends emerge — many of which pilots have long suspected, but now are being confirmed by real data. This alone challenges the claim that “there’s no way to collect meaningful information” about this program. Yes, there is a way to collect data and P4HR is doing it.
P4HR has 55 submissions, and that is just the beginning. To strengthen these findings and ensure the data accurately reflect reality, they need hundreds.
If you are in HIMS, have been in HIMS, or know someone who is, please participate and help spread the word. The survey is 100% anonymous, end-to-end encrypted, and controlled by a single secure key holder at Pilots for HIMS Reform.
Data changes narratives — and narratives drive reform.

HIMS is one of the greatest scams that has grown in the airline industry where airline management and doctors create false diagnosis of alcoholism, destroy careers, force a program on pilots even if they are not alcoholics, and in some cases encourage pilots who have never drank to enter the program to avoid job action in another area. Profit and control destroys lives. There is also no one size fits all with humans and health. One doctor testified that he realized the pilot wasn’t drinking, and yet he claimed he wasn’t complying with the program. If he wasn’t drinking, why did he need to go to meetings?
To put this concept into something tangible. You’re a pilot and you should pass your checkride because your performance is perfect. The check airman even admits it’s a perfect ride. But then he says, “However, we’re not going to pass you because you did not attend our study sessions (at a price), you did not take the training seriously enough, and you don’t appear to be vested in our training. Despite your perfect performance, you fail and must go back to our training sessions.”
This must end.
Yes, there are pilots who drank while flying and in lieu of being terminated they are allowed into the program and put back in the sky and required to go to AA. However, those cases are far and few between. The program searches and harvests pilots who don’t belong to this “give your life over to doctors and the company” program.
Please share the survey with everyone you know in the program and fill it out if you are a participant. You can make a difference.
