Default Airline-Specific Medical Hiring Standards

This will be a permanent thread to share info about exactly what various airlines do in the way of medical screening. Please create a new post for the airline you work for, or recently interviewed at.

Does your airline just take look at your 1C? Do they perform an in-house "Astronaut Physical"? Something in-between? How do they feel at about Special Issuance medicals?

If there's an exam which is more involved than the FAA 1C exam, what all is included? Blood cholesterol, Height/weight standards, BMI, etc?

Also please post recent info, things have changed in the last 15 years. If you see incorrect info in a previous post (things do change) please post an update and mention the post # with the bad info and we'll delete it.
