Who is that doctor Delta uses before you can come back off disability? I think I remember his name, anyways, gave him a call on behalf of a friend here who had suffered a kidney stone attack while flying. I didn't even mention my friends name, he didn't ask, he was great. I only called because my Captain was emphatic that after he came off disability that the Doctor helped him get everything done with the FAA and it went really smooth. So he gave me all of the info I needed to pass along and like I said, did so completely anonymous. Very happy to help was what I got.

I say this because it is possible to have a quality aeromedical without ALPA. Not discounting ALPAs team, just that there are options.
