Depends what you're doing and who you're doing it with. BMI usually lower than 27 required (big issue) and cholesteral normal. For the rest, if you dip the phsycho or interview, they'll probably tell you that you failed the medical. As far as the NASA theory goes: Deke Slayton (amongst other things) flew the Apollo Soyuz link up in the summer of 1975. He had dicky heart and passed that one.

JCAB Medical!
I used to work for Nippon Cargo Airlines, from what the pilots told me the JCAB medical is tough to pass. I believe the JFK medical center in New York is still able to conduct the medical. There is a doctor in SFO that used to conduct the medical, forgot his name.
We had one pilot that was a marathon runner and was rejected because his blood pressure was too low, if you can believe that!
