I'm sure I'll get flack for this but I completely agree with this cause.

I know I worry everytime I go to my AME, and my blood pressure suffers as a result of it. I also know there are plenty of people out there that want to become pilots but can't because when they were 12 they were diagnosed with ADHD, or had a rough patch in life and took anti-depresants for a couple months. This system is messed up, and needs reform. |

Or not if they discover something you should have reported there's no defense other than a real or concocted story that gains their mercy. Suchhs but change the rule, don't break it. |

I've said it before. Your AME should never know anything about your PCP. Damn sure never admit to anything he won't find. Finding out you weren't truthful on your medEpress is a long shot for them. (Currently) you volunterring is a for sure no issue. The AME's don't like it and we pilots don't like it.
My good friend drives truck. 80,000 pounds rolling 11 hours a day. He passed his DOT with ease but has a few health problems that would be a sure fail for a pilot.
Remember guys no fed is out to help you by choice. |

For you guys saying "What the gov doesn't know..." and "My PCP and AME should never meet..." I completely agree, but that is precisely what this is about. Wouldn't you rather not have to worry about it? |
