EK/GCAA Medicals

Why is it that these doctors want to perform so many extra tests on you for no real known reason when you go in for your flight physical??? Maybe I'm the only guy they do this to.

If I or anyone meets the requirements for a GCAA flight physical, then darn it, we're entitled to the flight physical certificate period. It's a simple concept and we don't go there for things like getting blood work, treadmill tests, and other wasteful and COSTLY referrals. There's no requirement for that stuff to get a flight physical!

If there are other issues, I would offer we can come in to see a doctor on our own time.

Give me the medical certificate if I pass the GCAA REQUIREMENTS!!!!

Thanks for letting me vent…. :-)
