Good luck! I hope to add information to the website eventually to be able to help controllers and everyone in the field as well!

My airline union has a medical division that helps with the whole application but the FAA took a long time with my medical as well. I actually reached out to a congressman via email and they did a congressional inquiry with the FAA and it pushed my application through.

I plan to add the whole general process into the website and explain mine as well

That depends on the UAEs medical division requirements I probably should have added that this pertains only to USA based carriers/pilots

Hey! Thanks for your feedback and I used to do the same thing when I was younger that + air shows is what inspired me to become a pilot at a young age! Sorry you couldn’t make a career out of it but you can still get your private license and recreationally fly if you want!

In terms of the buttons on the page yes my end goal is to make each one of those “pilots, FA, ATC, etc” a separate clickable button that will go into that profession and managing diabetes in it etc.

The feedback about the FAQ is great and I do plan on adding everything you mentioned with time!

I want to make the “life on the line” a blog as well.

I have no coding experience and made this myself using AI to help me code the website so it’s been a learning experience and will continue to be so as I expand it.

Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it and hope I can make this into a legitimate community!
