The Gnome was a worry.

The Gnome is history. Now the docs are trying to get the BMI thing removed as well, no actual benefit to the company. That may take a while.

The Doc remarked that most of the guys that are more often ill, or in the clinic are the skinnies, and those doing more extreme sports.

Medicals, at least at EK, be truthful, but always be economical with what you say, always.

SyB :zzz::zzz:

Just a heads up for anyone heading back to the UK. He also is on the medical board for a Big Airline.

The gnome suspended a friend of mine's medical, he eventually got fired, now working at Qatar.

The Gnome caused we a world of hurt, as it turned out for no reason....but he did me a favour.....he filled my bucket full of s@@t

Jesus wept... the ‘meet the team’ page of the website looks like a Facebook selfie collection he randomly picked from some teen girl group.

Maybe they Service iPhone cameras too, and help people set up their own blogs?

What a horrible little man.

What about farting, is that OK? Not on the flight deck of course :(

Is a little snoring ok?

Don't press RECALL and you will have an uneventful flight :O

Looking at "The Team" tells me all I need to know about this little man.

Also, do NOT ever mention 'headache' at the clinic either. If they can't identify what is causing the headache, you are grounded. Fix it yourself or go to a private clinic.

Both him and his wife are second generation Brits, both their parents originally from India. Not content with their British passports, Mrs gnome made four visits to the US for extended stays, each one resulting in a return home +1. Obviously, a UK only passport is not good enough for their little darlings.

The first (and last) time that I met his wife, she admitted she thought she needed a passport to visit Scotland. She lived in Watford at the time! And no, that's not a joke.

He himself is a conniving, devious and downright untrustworthy individual with the ethics of a sleaze bag. He's a small man with a severely over inflated ego and made the life of one of my colleagues very difficult, as he did for several of our pilots. The 'C' word sums up perfectly this despicable little individual. :mad:

Harry

Came across him once doing my medical a few years back. He was concerned about my weight gain (half a stone in three years, BMI 26.7) and went on asking me, with a concerned look, if I knew that about 100.000 people in the UK dies of fat related diseases every year!
Before realizing he was dead serious I replied in a country of ~60-70 million people statistically half a million will die yearly. Obviously the vast majority of them are slim so good thing I’m a little chubby then!
He didn’t appreciate my math...

Say what you mean Harry.

This is not your normal defense of the company. I think a few of us are in shock!

However a look at the link https://www.flyingmedicine.uk/ instantly gives a pretty questionable impression of the staff.

Wow, Harry! What can I say?

Oh my God, now i have seen it all. What an utterly unprofessional looking website. Is this for real?

CC ,
Have you ever had dealings with this Dr.? I doubt you have !

Yep...Av med,colagen, botox and implants.

All for one low price.

Also looks like you have to be some sort of plastic fantastic to work there.:rolleyes:

Yup :uhoh:

Seems we should take he credit, he won a prize for experimenting on EK pilots. Seemed like a competent doctor at the start, who let his ambition and thirst for fame take over his life.
