If you run a US airline, I'm willing to help pay the costs to have all your pilots tested for cardiac issues

>> In light of the new epidemic of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)

Bogus inventions shouldn’t be legitimized.

” The test takes only 10 minutes per pilot, it is non-invasive (it is similar to an EKG”

I think most commercial pilots get an EKG twice a year.

Did anyone get the screenshot of the person claiming there will be “an event” soon regarding the failure of airlines to adequately staff pilots, and this will be an excuse for a travel lockdown? Thy said it better than I did, and it makes more sense from them, but...

They already made it so the vaxx makers can’t be sued. What more does anyone need to know?

They can be sued.

I guess I missed that but then I don’t know what happened with the Georgia Guidestones either.

Haven’t had a chance to catch up.

Anyone capable of using Google will know this is already part of a Class 1 Medical and just another bogus fearporn post.

Never going to happen. No commercial pilot who hasn’t already been diagnosed is going to risk losing his livelihood by volunteering for a test that might cost him his flight physical.

This is a BS post. As a pilot, I can tell you that if the FAA even suspects you have a cardiac issue during a flight physical, you will be grounded until you are run through the ringer. As I recall, Class I pilots require a physical every 6 months, or when anything happens that the FAA thinks physical condition could play a role.

Their top priority should be to provide a generous return to their shareholders.

Class 1 medicals require a physical every six months if you're over 40, under 40 is every year. An EKG is required every year, I just had mine two days ago.

I really wish people would quit posting BS articles like this on Freerepublic. It undermines our credibility when people post garbage like this as fact. Fake news is the territory of leftists, not decent people.

Being a pilot does not say how much medical knowledge you have.
Having heart problems I too am required to get an EKG every 6 months. They tell that you currently are not having problems or is your heart is so massively damaged. They do little for knowing if you will have problems tomorrow from damage that don’t show symptoms currently.

But it does say what knowledge I have regarding how the FAA reacts to any perceived cardiac issues,and not just those found in an EKG. I speak from first-hand experience.

Thus we will be stuck with a pandemic of people pretending not to know things.

And this is exactly where we are. But to be truthful, wouldn't a screening of ANY of the population give the same results expected of the airline pilots?
