  • Anyone who requests to see your Medical Certificate (e.g., a future employer, the FAA, a Check Airman, etc.) will know you are operating on a Special Issuance Medical Certificate.
  • Bottom line, 'think twice' about participating in HIMS if you are under the age of 40 and/or you anticipate switching employers.

  • one of this airline's 'finest aviators' (aka flight qualified supervisors) known as a 'management pilot,' was put in charge of performing the equivalent of (or something close to) a mental status exam every month on pilots participating in the HIMS program
  • At this airline, one of these REQUIRED monthly meetings between "management" (quotes used due to the fact that most managers at this airline have little to no actual management training) and the HIMS pilot COULD PUT HIS OR HER MEDICAL CERTIFICATE (read: career) AT JEOPARDY.
