I especially liked the carve out that prohibited a pilot from using a family member with a medical degree as the point of treatment. Just because your wife is an OBGYN doesn't mean that they can't treat the common cold or an ear infection. Give me a break.
I have a half a dozen doctors in my neighborhood. One of them is even an AME. I can't use any of them. Is that ridiculous or what?
This entire section was a joke. It looked like the Three Stooges crafted it. Once the membership started asking hard questions, it made our NC and the crackerjack ALPA lawyers look like complete chumps. Fortunately, commonsense prevailed.
