Migraine Headaches???

[J32/41]

I have a friend who has his PPL but quite often suffers migraine headaches just wanted to know if this could restrict him in getting an Airline Pilot Job later in life???

Thanks

As I understand it migraines are a disqualifying conditions for holding a medical under the CAA rules.

The FAA looks at these things on a case by case basis.

BUT...

Is it definitely migraine, or has he self-diagnosed it as such? Lots of people say they get migraines, who either don't, or have never actually had it diagnosed...it seems to be becoming a synonym for any kind of bad headache.
