What good are medicals anyway?
Airline captains who have first class medicals have been known to collapse at the wheel - I think there was a case not too long ago where 1st officer had to complete the flight solo. There can't be any medical that can accurately predict your future health so why not just a simple test of eye-sight from Specsavers, hearing test, blood pressure all the things your GP could do?
What are the statistics?
Me being controversial....
