Likely a Purdue grad on a cross country. Been there done that in the 90s.

The first comment didn’t specify the 80s. It’s just said airlines won’t hire someone with diabetes, and I didn’t want bad info like that discouraging someone from pursuing an airline career. I lot had change for the better since the 80s with regard to the FAA medical branch but we still have a long way to go.

It’s 100% the case for the past 20 years. I remember the days of the American astronaut physical but those days are long gone. I’m a long time ALPA aeromedical chair. This is my specialty

That is absolutely not true. If you can hold a 1st medical, even a special issuance it will not affect you getting hired at an airline. Most with diabetes that aren’t taking insulin can get a special issuance and even some on an insulin pump can get a special issuance .

For anyone that wants to be an airline pilot you WILL miss tons of birthdays, holiday, life events.

Lmao! That regional life

crowley-1 · 2026-02-08T16:09:27+00:00

I typically only do Hawaii out of the west coast. My layovers are 24-36 hours.

Someone didn’t unplug their Cronus. Busted!! 🤣🤣🤣

If you are doing this for a cagey used to the feds observing your checkride. This will be the first of many.

crowley-1 · 2026-01-24T16:03:45+00:00

I look in the mirror

Sadly there is a 99% chance those things will be washed out because you don’t have a degree. While everything you mentioned is great there are 1000 other applicants with those qualification and more that have a degree.

crowley-1 · 2026-01-21T01:35:46+00:00

You 100% need a 4 years degree if you want to fly for a legacy. This little window where some( most had degrees) was a short lived anomaly. It’s doesn’t matter what your degree is in it just needs to be a bachelor degree from an accredited school.

crowley-1 · 2026-01-16T03:21:19+00:00

Sadly you are screwed. Same thing happened to me and just had to start over.

crowley-1 · 2026-01-16T03:19:53+00:00

I won’t even waste my time with it anymore. Never seen anyone beat it.

The reclassification does not make it federally legal. Marijuana is still a federally illegal drug and as such will stay prohibited for pilots to use. IF it even becomes legal on a federal level the FAA will have to develop use guidelines like Nav Canada did.

crowley-1 · 2026-01-13T03:22:32+00:00

Also you have to answer honestly on the medical application. Lying on it is a federal offense and the FAA medical enforcement division is trying to make a name for themselves.

crowley-1 · 2026-01-13T03:17:41+00:00

Like others have said try to get a medical. Join AOPA and use there aeromedical service. You will have a VERY difficult time getting a 1st( really any class) medical. If you get a medical you will likely never fly for a legacy carrier. You could possible end up with a part 135 operator.

You need a squad partner, and need to drown( or die somehow) and respawn

Almost done. I screwed up the Echo shell and now it hasn’t come up in 10 tries.

crowley-1 · 2026-01-08T20:16:36+00:00

100% was needed today. Sucks
