Hmmm, in the FAA medical it asks you to put down any visits to a medical professional within the last 3 years. Well what about if tomorrow they asked you to list it since age 18, would you suddenly remember that too? I bet you would there wouldn't you (:

I know the rules are rules, but man you sure do get defensive.
Hmmm, I just recently tried out for San Jose PD. I smoked, and I mean smoked guys 20 years younger on the physical. I got well above 90 on the oral, and I did just fine on the written.
That's great that your living the dream at Delta, but you clearly need some work in the way you talk to others ESP ones you have no idea about
It's easy to be a keyboard warrior dude.
Yes, I stand by my idea it's ridiculous. Was just asking those who have MUCH more exp with this then me their opinions. I don't need people telling me how bad my memory is because dude I Prob forgot more than you know!
Just pls leave the personal insults for over a beer, it's a lot more fun that way!
Irony, meet thyself.

If you only knew.
BREAK, BREAK:
Dude.
At no time did I say it wasn't ridiculous. I only stated the sky is blue, and forwarded (pages of your rants prior) an idea for why they might want such info.
A last helpful hint, and then I have to go to my Mensa meeting:
If you can't find the info, make your best effort, and when your stunning qualifications land you an interview and if the HR guy asks why you put "unknown" as the name of your BK team leader (he won't), tell him you don't remember. And when he asks you "are there any other violations you didn't list?" just say, "I don't believe so," and then continue with your story about being an irresponsible youngster with a 5.0 'Stang. I used a similar reason to explain my ugly list of tix (though my ride was a 15yo rust bucket with 60% less displacement… all I could afford on a PT min wage job and a paper route).
Or continue complaining. About 115 pilots a month are very happy for you to delay your app. Seniority is everything in this biz (btw, if you make it through the rest of the app/interview/hiring/academy/FTO process you'll find out the same thing at SJPD).
Edit: and if you think DAL's app is burdensome, wait till the pre-poly paperwork for the po-po... You're going to have to dig that info up one way or the other.
