Default New Hire Physical Exam experience.

Hi,
Can you guys tell me about the questions that are asked about your medical history during the interview and the initial screening?
I don't have any frightening skeletons in my closet but I have had some physical issues. Did they ask about prescriptions you've had or about physical therapy or even psychological therapy?
Any help would be greatly appreiciated and feel free to go into details or tell your personal story.
Thank you very much!
Randy

There isn't anything separate from your first class medical. As long as you have a current first class, you're good to go. And a yellow fever vaccine...

as long as you have disclosed any relevant information on your medical it won’t matter.

The Yellow Fever vaccine is only required if you are a DCA 787 pilot.

I dunno, in my 'here's your class date' packet, it quite clearly said that all new hires must now have a yellow fever vaccine before starting training. They provided an email address if you wanted to request an exemption, but also stated that you can't start until the exemption process is complete, and that sounded like it could be quite a delay.

So I got mine yesterday.

Hopefully I won't turn yellow. Or feverish.

Wait, wait, wait, so the “turn your head and cough” test wasn’t really part of the panel interview!!!?? I knew I thought I saw them smiling while I whimpered a little and died inside.
