Employment question

tvalenti · February 18th, 2005, 15:40

I have my class 2 medical certificate. I have a mild learning disability, but average IQ. Im wondering how my learning disability will affect my oppurtunities with employment from airlines in the future or if I even have to disclose it at all. It doesnt affect me from completeing any of the tasks that are required from a pilot. Any thoughts, or experiences?
Any comments greatly appreciated.

Can you get a first class medical? If not, you more than likely will not be able to get a job with and airline. I know that ExpressJet requires a 1st class medical. To be a captain, you must have a first class medical for Airline Transport Pilot Certificate privaleges.

Talk to your AME (Aero Medical Examiner) about it. They might be able to give you information and options.

I agree that you might ask this in the General Forum... you will get many more answers there.
