It has to be the most ludicrous and discriminatory thing I have ever seen them do.
Where are the accident statistics that show that ADHD is a contributing factor? I don't recall any such findings in any ATSB reports.
Let's hope Form 420 will never see the light of day again and those who were deemed to have a "disorder" that made them "unsafe" will be able to try again to get a medical.
Too late,
it's back. But without the ridiculous "jump out of plane in flight..."
