Class 1 Medical & Mental Health

Post by Piper52 »

Hello

Wondering if I can get some insight as to how TC looks upon any serious mental health disclosures from a past life. My issue is that I have a medical lined up in a few weeks and I'm a bit nervous on how this is going to go. I've worked with a CAME to have a very favourable psych assessment, and have plenty of supporting documentation. Is TC quite fair with previous resolved mental health issues?

Thanks

At the rate at which TC is processing Category 1 medical applications at present, you will be close to retirement age before anyone views your file.

They will ask for medical reports, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Appreciate the replies; did the medical and looks as though it will be quite a wait before it's processed. All seems pretty good so far...

The older I get, the more I think that I had to be crazy to get into this flying gig, so you'll fit right in! :wink:

More seriously, as long as the issues are resolved, and you have a good prognosis and assessments, you'll be good
