Allegedly, his widow told some newsie that he had a double by-pass operation in 2006. If all of this is true, I suspect the FAA's medical recertification process will be subject to review, at least for first class medical certificates.
Well, there's the question... Is a post-bypass-op pilot really a higher risk than a pilot with undetected or sudden-onset heart issues?
