Hi,

What are the chances of being hired back in the cockpit, even on contract, after a cancer that has gone into full remission?

I have one mate that's flying a 737 after having had heart valve replacement surgery and another flying a 50 seat turboprop following recovery from a stroke so I suspect that as long as you hold a medical there won't be an issue. You don't really need to volunteer that information at the point where you get hired - if you hold the relevant medical, why does the employer need to know?
