PF,

Sorry to hear about your situation. The big thing isn't whether an airline will hire you. It's whether the FAA will certify you. To fly as a required crewmember, I believe that you'll need an additional SODA for each aircraft type/seat position that you fly in at the airlines (transport category aircraft).

I know a pilot that is an amputee. He has a limitation on his medical that prior to flying any particular make/model, he must demonstrate that he is capable of manipulating all the required flight controls, switches, etc. Once he has done so, he gets an addition to his SODA for that make/model.

I would suggest that you call AOPA and ask the medical staff there what they might suggest. You might also try calling the FSDO (particularly one that oversees whichever company you are interested in applying to), ALPA aeromedical or the NBAA. Each organization might have some information on how to proceed. Our advice gets you started in the right direction, but the truth is web info will only take you so far. To my knowledge, none of us that have responded are POIs for a particular airline or AMEs or any other type of person that could give you "official" advice.

Good luck.
