“Serious question for any pilots: do they ask if you’re vaccinated during your checkups? Were you discriminated against if the answer was no?”
No, it is not a required question. And the FAA made an exception to the requirement that meds be approved and on the market for 12 months before it is approved.
I am a Senior AME.
I’m a commercial/instrument rated pilot, 43 years. I’ve been told by at least a dozen similarly rated pilots I know say their insurance company refuses to insure their aircraft when they reach 70, regardless of medical status. This has all come up in the last couple of years. Coinkydink? I doubt it.
