After a couple of months the airline was having to cancel hundreds of flights because of a shortage of pilots. He was told to go to a flight surgeon in a different state and that doctor returned him to service. After a couple months someone at the airline told him that he needed his “booster”. Within two days after getting it he started having chest pain. When he had it checked out, he was told that his problem was much worse than before and now his aorta was enlarged as well as his heart. He now truly is never going to fly again.
This problem is not uncommon, and it is not just happening in young men.
Was he denied retirement benefits after onset of 1st problems? Trying to figure out why he would get boosted.
Did you know FAA regulations demand any treatment be out for a year before FAA can consider it for use in pilots. Except for covid…
