Becoming a pilot with Asthma
Hello, my name is Sebastian, I'm currently looking at a career as an airline pilot.
I am concerned over the fact I have asthma, my asthma is not bad, I have not been hospitalised within the last 6 years. I also very rarely take the blue ventolin inhaler for immediate relief from symptoms.
However, everyday I take 0.3 milligrammes of Symbicort via inhaler. Symbicort is a preventive drug which is supposed to stop symptoms developing.
Could someone please let me know if they have any experience with becoming a pilot with Asthma, or if you think my asthma or the inhalers I take will affect my ability to become one.
