Which airlines have pre-employment medicals? For example do you need to pass one at SWA, Continental, DHL, Fedex, Ups…???
If so, how do they deal with BP medication? In other words, if mild hypertension is treated with medication and stays within 120/80 (and ekg, etc is normal) and the person has the faa approval (written statement from the faa and a statement from the treating doctor) are they satisfied or do they have their own rules which can prevent one from being hired?
Are there medical specialists who'd have the right advice re: the airlines and if so how can one contact them??? (leftseat and aviationmedicine.com deal with the faa, they had no airline specific advice)
