You never know, might have some pilot out there flying with an undiagnosed illness. Never mind shuting down the air transpoortation system, gotta be safe. Oh yeah, why not a skills test too. I could be dead asleep and outfly some of the idiots I have flown with. I recommend a certain score on an AFOQT and TBAS.
Absolutely! You can't be too safe! I think we should do this type of screening before every leg, on every day, on every trip!
Because, well, do you know how many airline accidents have been caused by all those unhealthy pilots?
I just hope nobody at CNN finds out about this! Where's the guy with the goatee in the 777 sim? We need him to straighten this mess out!
