IMHO it should be NO.

If he had it once, he can have it again, so any medical should be a fail.
It appears tha AH is a bit of a whizz with the design of digital Flight manuals/systems from some reports today. Perhaps thats a way forward for him now within the industry?
Its inconceiveable, surely, that AH could return as a commercial or display pilot in the circumstances? There has to be a doubt over his medical fitness to perform the role given the trial verdict, and the reason for the acquital. And the announcement from the front to passengers 'welcome to BA flight XXXX, this is your captain, Andy Hill speaking', may not go down especially well with the passengers?
