In this case, what should the doctor be obligated to do if an Airline Pilot should be grounded or dismissed? I believe under the law unless there's a prior agreement with the airline or the doctor is airline employed he can't do anything unless there's a clear indication of harm to the patient or others around him.

Its a tough call. Who knows how many people avoided a similar situation by going to a doctor and getting help? People would just end up not going to the doctor if they wanted to keep flying.
