I would think that with a history of vertigo, it would prevent her from even flying.

I have a close friend who was a navy pilot till he left the service to pursue a degree in pharmacology. I once asked him why he never considered becoming an airline pilot and he said such a career was only as good as his next physical.

and nothing you've put toward that career carries over to anything else.

Military pilots get grounded for a lot less than vertigo.

If this story is accurate there’s no way she should have been cleared to fly.

I knew a guy that was grounded by the Navy because of a back injury and he wasn’t even a pilot just a crew member.
