I have an issue with receiving a medical every year due to an ongoing medical condition that requires annual testing, reports, etc. I would caution against disclosing ANYTHING to the company's medical representative before consulting ALPA medical (or any other unaffiliated aeromedical company) for the same issue. This is especially true when it concerns medical certification, SODA, or SI's. They do not need to be notified until you have exhausted other avenues and quite frankly it is none of their business until it actually affects your medical certification. There has been no disclosure of the types of records HW keeps when you make an inquiry nor the disposition of those records.

IMO, the only people actually in your corner are people you pay, ie. ALPA medical. Just my experience over the years of dealing with this BS.

Age 60 cannot get here fast enough.
