Is a "Special Issuance" a barrier to hiring?
I'm a military pilot approaching retirement. As I get my ducks in a row for a transition to the airlines, I'm concerned about the FAA Class 1 Medical. I have a long term condition that is well controlled with medication that will require a special issuance. Will having a special issuance be an problem in the hiring/interview process? I know some airlines still do a physical -- will an otherwise healthy person be rejected because of a condition that requires long term medications?
