Come on Gingernut a febrile convulsion as a child does not increase the risk of fits as an adult. A diagnosis of epilepsy except that limited to sleep does. A fit when flying in any capacity would potentially kill hundreds.

I agree - epilepsy is incompatible with flying unless the fit is related to a specific pathology such as a space occupying lesion that has been eliminated

Sorry
