Aviation Medicine - Radiation

What has changed that makes a 'career flying the polar route' a no no from a medical hazard perspective?

We aircrew are our own worst enemies - what is totally unacceptable if one is HK based is perfectly ok if one can be based overseas! The company loves this twisted logic and self interest.

So if radiation is an issue my logic tells me that there will be no basings that result in a career of polar flying. More especially so when the basees will be resident in the most litigation friendly jurisdiction on the planet. If radiation is an issue then full marks to our AVMED team for standing their ground.

Now everyone can carry on dreaming.
