Thanks for your reply. I suppose it was inevitable they would have looked at previous sorties.

I need to be careful I don’t sound like a stuck record (I’m sure I do already).

You’re absolutely correct that, having not been at the trial, I am not in possession of all the facts. I still cannot believe however that one bad sortie out of 4 or 5 from an ‘experienced’ pilot is definitive evidence of a medical event.

We’ve all had bad days in the cockpit. I would say, circumstantially, that those bad days are/were more prevalent during our earlier days on a particular type.

I would argue that few, if any, of those bad days could be attributed to an instance of oxygen starvation induced CI. But then, who knows? I’m not a doctor.
