Airliner pilot and Asthma
Dear pilots, I have been dreaming about becoming an airliner pilot after school (I'm 16 now), I think about it every day and do everything to become one, I chose all available physics, mathematics,English and Finnish courses available here at my high school in Finland, but there has been one thing in my mind for a long time, and would like to hear your opinion. Is it possible to become an airliner pilot for any airline, if one has Asthma? I got asthma you see, and even though I have had significantly less problems with it (when I was 6-10 years old I had problems almost every day), a few times every year I get some small breathing problems which will cure itself after a few minutes, and I carry a medicine for it in my pocket at all times (one might never know....). Is this considered the same kind of Asthma? I mean, a real person with Asthma has severe problems regularly which I don't, so.. Could anyone please provide some answers to this? This is very important for me, so I would really appreciate it! Thank you, Harry Z (Itäkeskus upper secondary school)
