surgery and 1st class medicals
I am an aspiring pilot about to begin instrument training. Although I have a lot of work to do to earn the appropriate ratings, I thought I would try to get this question answered.
I have had three shoulder surgeries...one open surgery on the left shoulder, an open surgery and an arthroscopic surgery on the right shoulder. I am an active and fit guy (cycling), but it looks like I will be needing a THIRD arthroscopic procedure on my right shoulder here in the next month to alleviate some pain issues.
Q: When I've earned all of my ratings and have reached the magic TT and multi hours, will a future employer look at my medical history (four shoulder surgeries) and think twice about hiring me? Do any of you feel that this may be an issue at all?
Thank you for your time and input,
Mike
