Anyone have the number for Dr Kendall, I can't find it.

On another note, If I am on DSA during my sim month, when I take my sim does it reset my training cycle

You can try: 719.481.1006. Their FAX number is: 719.481.1011

Say Hi to Wanda for me.

Thanks JJ. Adding for msg length

Why would you call the company doc over the ALPA medical folks?

I like Dr. K, but he gets his checks from FedEx and is their employee.

Just courious

Which Doc Kendall? ALPA's or FedEx's?

Doc Kendall is a good guy, and you are probably required to deal with him for the company.

But I'd also call ALPA Aeromedical 303-341-4435... cover all bases, and get advice from the guys you are paying, not the company. Most likely, the info will be the same, but why risk it?

Both groups do really great work, and neither one will release any of your personal information to anyone or any company (read FedEx) without your specific approval. That approval is done in writing, by you, before they can release your data. Although Dr. Kendall's group is paid by FedEx, they are there for you, to, in some required cases, act as a go-between between you and the FAA. I worked with them a number of years ago and they did wonderfully on my behalf.

1. Call ALPA

ALPA's Aero-Med is there to protect your job, that is why we pay dues and they will steer you right. They also work well with the company, very well.

2. Call company Doc, as required.

The company Doc does a great job, however, it should be the second call you make.

Doctor Kendall is the medical advisor for management.

Captain Kendall is the aeromedical committee chair for FedEx ALPA.

Same last names, both work medical issues, not both doctors. Doctor works for the company while the captain works for the pilots.

Doctor Kendall may be a good guy but I'd be calling Captain Kendall first.

My understanding is you have to call Dr Kendall after surgery and disability.

Am I wrong?
