Im not saying I will do that and I would never condone anyone to lie. I do believe honesty is the best policy, thats why I told my flying school about my status beforehand. To which they dont have a problem with it.

I dont understand why HIV is automatically disqualifies me becoming a pilot? I am fit and healthy and dont have any other conditions. And with current and new ARVs there is no reason why I shouldnt have a healthy life for years to come.

The FAA have changed their rules why cant the JAA? Personally the rules seems discriminatory
Is there any appeals process? If so is it worth going down?
