For ONCe we agree!

My last medical renewal ellicited an interesting letter from CASA Medical - they basically said I was too bloody fat to have free and full operation of an aircraft controls, and that my weight COULD impare my abilities in a walkaround yada yada yada...

Needless to say, I passed (after having to do a bloody Glucose tolerance test - not even a HINT of diabetes), but they "suggested" I lose 12 kilograms...

Is THAT discrimination, saying I am too fat?

I sometimes make reference to jason Hassard. I guess I am catching him, except there are no DC-6's left for me to fly.
