Does anybody here have insight to the current medical situation in Europe, who is responsible for pilot "airworthiness"?
When I was on duty there, we had strict medical supervision by the airline doctors, who knew us quite well after a while. I now hear rumors that the responsibility for the medical fit-to-fly reasoning was moved by EU regulations to some anonymous authorities. I cannot believe this to be true, because it would be so stupid to take responsibility from the once having the duty of operations plus knowledge of the pilots and give it to some buttheads in some far away offices.
