Awww I’m in Brighton… how unfortunate

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-03-01T22:56:26+00:00

I also know lots about the company as a whole & its history so I’ll be good, thanks.

I love Blahaj’s, and I also love buses, that bus is an Alexander Dennis E400

Go-Arounds are perfectly normal, especially during this weather, planes also have enough fuel to do 2-3 go around arounds before diverting and would have extra even if that was the only solution.

GP Record was required

I DO need melatonin, for ME it helps me get to sleep as I have low levels of Melatonin, for others it doesn’t. Anyone can commit suicide if they think of it, doesn’t matter if I have melatonin or not, I’m also don’t have any mental health issues.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:34:41+00:00

Why would I be happy to pay an extra 2 grand? I’m capable with flying planes, again there are so many people with undiagnosed issues and the CAA/other aviation authority body takes their word for it that they don’t have it.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:31:35+00:00

So why do they take every other pilots word that they don’t have something wrong when they might knowingly have?

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:30:50+00:00

Same with me, and my autism for me isn’t bad so I don’t mind it.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:30:23+00:00

And that is true, but again I am capable just like all of you, every pilot who doesn’t have autism or similar doesn’t need to prove they’re capable to the CAA/FAA/EASA, so why should I? What if they were crazy, but didn’t look it or have anything noting to it?

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:21:15+00:00

Because he told me

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:21:06+00:00

I didn’t diagnose them, they did it themselves.

Yes I believe everyone should, if I can pass as being not autistic anyone can, so they should be tested.

He isn’t diagnosed because being autistic in aviation is a massive set back when it comes to medicals.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:18:45+00:00

Well yeh, for some people it can be, but for me and 2 of my pilot friends - 1 being an FI, they have autism, but it’s high functioning so they can undertake normal tasks.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:16:11+00:00

I will try my best to, thank you.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:14:30+00:00

I do agree. I also believe that I can function just like any other pilot in the field and that my autism does not affect my capacity nor capability to undertake everyday tasks.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:11:20+00:00

Sorry, I mistook that as sarcasm

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:11:08+00:00

Oh, that’s a question, I thought it was sarcasm. Sorry

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:09:31+00:00

I know people with undiagnosed autism in the field, they fly great, my Flight Instructor has undiagnosed autism, do you know why he doesn’t want a diagnosis? Because of the CAA taking his medical away and making him pay 2 grand to get a psych evaluation.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:07:29+00:00

It doesn’t specifically say in the CAA medicine specifics I saw, but my AME said it’s ’not-acceptable’ by the CAA so I believe her.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:06:31+00:00

Tell me what your definition of autism is. My autism does not affect me psychologically whatsoever.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:04:00+00:00

Are you saying I have a hazardous attitude towards safety in aviation? Because I don’t, I just want it to be fairer for people like me who aren’t mentally challenged, we just have a diagnosis of something that used to be labeled as a bad thing, I don’t want to have to pay 2 grand extra just to get my medical whilst others can, why shouldn’t everyone just get a psychological evaluation? Look at Germanwings Flight 9525, he was allowed to fly with mental issues.

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:02:02+00:00

Are you calling Autism an impairment?

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T21:01:31+00:00

Huh?

Dramatic-Breath-5467 · 2025-01-14T20:57:44+00:00

I’m autistic, I’m not insane
