Absolute Disqualifiers

[goplay234]

Can anyone list the medical conditions that will absolutely disqualify you from flight status other than asthma?

Elephantiasis, Ebola, Leprasy, Lyme Disease, Bubonic Plague (bacterial not viral), tuberculosis, Hanta virus, various amputations, evil second head, etc...

I have an evil second head waiver.

not to mention blindness, diabetes, paralysis, cystic fibrosis, having seven fingers on each hand, and having chicken legs in the place of normal human legs.

I have goat legs. That's okay.

lol... I would like to see the letter you sent up to the medical board for that one.

"I have found in dealing with my evil second head that he really is not all that evil, but rather just prone to make poor decisions. I can assure the board that with the help of my medication the effect my evil second head has on my overall judgement is minimal to non- existant."

I made the case that my evil second head wasn't bad, just misunderstood. Then in my waiver I wrote a compelling case how I could use my second head's considerable power for good, not evil.

BTW, reminds me of a movie I saw years ago.

I figured they would never waiver the second head ever since the contract for the double headed helmuts fell through because of overruns

A second, small child's helmut works well.

I imagine air sickness is still a pain though
