WYOMINGPILOT,

Thanks for the info and the limits.

How does the 24Hr BP monitor work. Do you stay in the hospital for 24 hrs.

I didnt expect the pilots to have bribed the Drs directly to pass medicals (although working in Asia for many years, I shouldnt be surprised if it happened), but did wonder if the airline did to get their applicants 'approved'.

I may be well off here, (PMs also taken into consideration here) but does it appear the medical may be used as a way to fail applicants they dont wish to employ. Has anyone failed the application process by other than medical issues.
I realise there are also quite a few medical renewal failures or issues, so its not only initial applicants that are failed.

One PM I received said he failed on the static BP test, but the test was hardly a true static test.
