It's a difficult thing to find information for, and I'm not about to ask a $15 question over http://www.flightattendants.org/ (I've signed up, their boards are locked without membership) so any information anyone might have about this would be helpful.

Essentially I need to know if a person with medication-controlled epilepsy is eligable for employment. Air Canada specifically, but I should know for any of the other Canadian airlines.

The Air Canada website lists the following requirements for employment:

II. Minimum Requirements

Safety conscious
Must accept assignment at our Toronto In-Flight Service base
Possess a valid Canadian passport
Minimum age - 18 years
High school graduation diploma or equivalent
Able to meet our medical standards
Able to obtain Transport Canada's Security clearance
Well groomed and self confident
Must successfully complete our seven week initial training program(Taken from http://www.aircanada.com/en/about/career/attendants.html)

Is anyone aware what Air Canada's medical standards are for the position? They don't make it easy to find on their website if it's there at all.

Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.
