She learned to fly in 2020, and she's young enough that she'd be on the 5-year plan for a third class medical.
As discussed on a previous thread about her, she's not an aviation YouTuber. In fact, I think this is only her third video about aviation at all: She made one about buying her airplane (C140), one about flying it to Oshkosh last summer, and this one.
Apparently, she has a history of another woman creating havoc in her life.

You ask people for money. They'd contribute because they know you, they trust you, they are impressed by your proposal, and / or because they can use the tax write off that is a part of your proposal.
What you are describing does not sound like a grant.
I wasn't writing a grant proposal. My plan was that everyone would make money. But it is the same process.
I think you're missing my point, but I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Tie it to a STEM program. You’d be surprised how many grant programs exist; so many that there’s a cottage industry for grant writing.
Nah, that could never be an issue for someone who lives her life for clicks. And contrary to her claim, "histrionic" and "hysteria" have different etymologies. (Not that I think this alone should necessarily be grounding.)

How a woman took on a Twitter harasser who threatened her with rape — and won
When 20-year-old robotics wiz Xyla Foxlin became the target of a scary Twitter harasser, she had to get creative to stop the threats and unmask the culprit.
How a Twitter troll was slain
After two months tracking down the troll, what does Foxlin think of Twitter support? “Twitter support was a bot”news.sophos.com
Treated means no longer suicidal. Obviously if they can't treat it to that point, you still don't let them fly. But pilots know that even the slightest thing is going to get them into a world of hurt, so they hide it instead of getting treated.
Do tell.
... Because it was, by nature, temporary, but the FAA doesn't give a crap, they will make your life miserable PERMANENTLY.
It's not just etymology.
“…previous thread…?” Link ??
Well, that’s what mental health practitioners are for. Keep in mind, the FAA doesn’t diagnose. From a regulatory perspective, the FAA can only investigate a complaint and, if found substantive, take certificate action.
What she admits is that she was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, treated by a psychiatrist, debilitated for a year, is still in therapy (maybe a yawn, maybe not), and was denied by the FAA after a full HIMS psych eval.
“Yawner” experiences are tough to monetize on social media…
Simply having been to therapy is definitely a red herring if you're looking for suicidal people. It just has way more stigma attached to it than there is any evidence for. The old "Everyone can probably use a little therapy" canard is probably more true than not.
This is good to hear.
No, thank you, I like my horizontal stabilizer where I can see . . . uh . . . well, I know it's back there.
Jeez... I can't find it now to save my life, even though I posted in it.
Like many of us I used to figure that I'd be fine after a single beer. This was years ago -- early this century. We had a family event going on, I'd had a beer, and about half an hour later we needed something small from the store. I hopped on the motorcycle for the five-minute trip. As I was making the left out of our neighborhood, it suddenly became very apparent to me that I had absolutely no business on that machine at that moment. Might not have noticed it in a car, but on the bike it was a lesson very quickly learned. No mishap and I'm sure I was well under the legal BAC limit, but in that moment I realized that was not up to snuff. Since that time my policy is -- once the can or bottle gets opened, I'm done with vehicles and power tools for the day, period.
As we have pointed out to our kids -- especially the one who had a long history of alcohol and substance abuse which by the grace of the Almighty seems to be behind him -- the very first thing most people lose when they start drinking is any decent judgment they might normally have. Zero to full Dunning-Kruger in one drink, in some cases.
I would argue that texting while operating a vehicle (I wouldn't call what most of them do "driving") is in itself evidence of poor judgment, just not brought on by drugs or alcohol.
Maybe you need bigger W-I-N-D-O-W-S.No, thank you, I like my horizontal stabilizer where I can see . . . uh . . . well, I know it's back there.
Bring suicidal isn't "the slightest thing " So what's the point of this always being brought up in these discussions? I think we all agree that suicidal pilots, treated or not, shouldn't fly--at a minimum--until they're treated to the point of cured. So what should the FAA change in order to encourage suicidal pilots who currently avoid treatment for great of losing there medicals? Tell them that as long as they're in treatment they can fly? Tell them they won't have to jump through any hoops to get back in the air once they say they're "better"? Both sound like terrible ideas, so what then?
Everybody says to have a backup plan in case you lose your medical, but apparently nobody does.
Or maybe those that do, are also less likely to end up needing to? Just maybe. I know that if I ever lost my medical I could probably still hire a commercial pilot to keep doing aerial photography.
Um, no. But I looked through what I thought was enough to find it!Did you look through all 25,000 of you posts?
Maybe allow for simple talk therapy for lesser issues without grounding them and making them jump through a zillion hoops and spend many thousands of dollars to prove themselves worthy, all while being grounded for years.
Because maybe that pilot wouldn't have gotten anywhere close to suicidal if they could have had easy access to mental health care early on without risking their career.
I think the only way you could have more is if you made ALL pilots get a mental health evaluation every renewal, and that would bring the entire system grinding to a halt.
Finding a job that pays what most pro pilots get paid these days is not trivial, no matter how good your backup plans are.
A suicidal pilot should be grounded, yes, but what about the person who had, and a doctor noted, a brief suicidal thought 5 years ago while going through a difficult time and has had no trouble since?
My backup plan was flying LSAs as a Sport Pilot.
In many cases the problem is that the doctor has to enter a diagnosis in order for insurance to pay for that therapy. In Xyla's case, "histrionic personality" is less of a "disorder" and more of a career skill.
Some do, some don't. Some use pH (eg. copper) as a secondary. Plus, just for fun, there are hormone disrupting chemical compounds (like BpA) in plasticizers.
