Definitely! I messaged you.

There is no Physical upon being hired. As a Pilot you hold a First Class Medical, which you renew every 6-12 months dependent on age. You will only be subjected to a Drug Test.

Okay! The reason I ask is because I saw the 20/20 requirement which I knew existed with the 1st class BUT the only way I obtain 20/20, if I’m being honest, is if I sit and actually work with the OD for awhile and fill out the

Fedex is partnering with Delta State to train pilots also although I don’t have the details. An article was in the Commercial Appeal this summer. Might be a better option than MTSU.

You’re about to embark on a career that will take you around the country and the world. I suggest you get used to embracing different experiences.
