“Being a pilot and having to see a doctor twice a year”

As a private pilot only doing class II & II physicals, it is amazing at the serious medical conditions people find by doing just those.

And, those FAA medical examiners can be REALLY picky and thorough. I've had them make me wear a 48 hour halter monitor over the least little blip. I've always said that as a whole, pilots tend to be the healthiest people walking the planet. If you don't think so, go buy a dozen donuts and leave them in the pilots' lounge of your local airport. My bet is that three days later, they will all still be there.
